Zombie sweaters from Jersey

I had this sweater I boldly started without a pattern....over a year ago. It's been sitting boxed up on a shelf, knitted up to the shoulders but in such a completely crappy fashion that starting at the armpits I had one of my "Whatever, this'll work" moments. Famous last words.
But, finding a very easy formula in Custom Knits for a top down raglan, I grabbed the extra balls I had, ripped the old sweater, and started a completely new one. Yes, this tomb of magick formulae hath summoned forth said zombie from Khlozhet Shehulf.

Seriously, here it is.

This one won't show rightside up fo' nothing.

So yeah, my first sweater! Needs weaving, blocking, sewing up some seams.....

Etsy Collection: Autumn

I'm enjoying putting these together. The browsing, finding the right pieces, seeing all this amazing work. Then telling sellers and posting their work. But it does mean darker and colder days and less time to stroll under the setting sun and rising moon. But you get to look at cool stuff so here's Autumn.

The Margarettown Tarot Spread of Self Discovery

This is based on one of my favorite books by Gabrielle Zevin.  It's a narrative about a woman who falls in love and introduces her fiance to her "family". 


All the women live in a house, Margaron, in the town, Margarettown. They're all named Margaret Towne. The women and girls are really different ages of the same women, Old Margaret, the original. They're waiting to be freed and live their own lives out. 


The book is amazing, touched me the way almost no books do. It's not a chick book, so don't worry about the love story part. It's short but deep. Read it.

Here's the spread.

Since I can't wait around for a treasury spot, I thought I'd do mini treasuries of items from etsy based on a theme. This week's is Summer.

Hurricane Who?

So there's a whole pack of storms coming up the East coast. We're supposed to get high winds and heavy rain over the next couple days. We have plenty of candles, flashlight....pretty much it.
Stay safe everyone.
