My sibling and a work friend would buy used pulp romances and paste each others’ faces into the various characters and scatter them about the office. It was genius.

I meant the seals, but no reason to cut the scientists out of the fun.

I didn’t love that aspect of either series, for the reason you articulate. I was more comfortable with the astrology in Lymond because *they* would have believed but I did not love the divining in Niccolò because it drove the plot beyond what the characters could have made happen themselves.

This doesn’t just happen, you know?

A scrupulously honest young pig who saw me drop my wallet, and is now putting off everything it had planned for the day to rush through this wildflower meadow and kindly return it to me.

Some excellent pigs I have met on walks in the British countryside.

Very important personal report: drinking my tea while it is still hot, but not too hot to drink. It’s perfect.

I should buy a lottery ticket.

Exactly - it’s ok if they aren’t using Dickensian language but once we move to something that wouldn’t stand out on TikTok I can’t cope.

I don’t like extremely contemporary language in historicals and this would really bug me.

I wish I could tell you otherwise but this is also my unhappy method.

There’s a company called Katrinkles that makes truly tiny ones that I’ve been eyeing …

If you’re familiar with them, it’s a perfect name for a multitude.

I tried one but it was too big, so this is freehand. It’s maybe 3/4” square - it’s quite small.

Thank you!

Improving! Fewer warps seems to be working - then I fill in later.

Thank you! I find duplicate stitch pretty easy so once I got some stitches in there I could go over them more easily.

So I tried on a chunkier knit and loved what I did - I did it in the orange and then kept going over it.

Entirely possible. Such an odd, glorious book.
