This has been the wettest year in my area since . . . ever.
The wet stuff is still falling, and projected to do so into January.
At least it isn’t s**w. 😳
I’ve been reading a “new” British author, almost unknown these days: Annie Haynes. She and Agatha Christie were the only two women authors published by The Bodley Head, a noted early Golden Age publisher. Unfortunately, Haynes died young and her books went out of print.
I’ve downloaded four of them, the Inspector Stoddard series, from Dean Street Press. At 99 cents each they are a welcome bargain.
Just finished the third, Who Killed Charmian Karslake? and am enjoying them. I guessed the murderer in the first book (The Man With the Dark Beard) but have been clueless reading the others. More info is here.
Meanwhile, have a yard of knitted scarf in that autumnal yarn and have decided it is not what I want. Will wait a bit more before deciding whether to rip it all out and start something else. . .
Seems almost wasteful to continue, yet almost foolish to frog all that knitting. Any thoughts, Lovely Readers? 🤪
Like your phrasing, Lynn, as this scarf definitely isn’t doing it for me. Hope all the Tialys clan has a Happy & healthy New Year! 🥳 😘

Those are gorgeous colours and I’m sure you’ll find something else to make with it if a scarf isn’t doing it for you.

Rest assured that yarn will not sit unused as there’s a plan already in thought. 😉

Oh, my… quickly?! 😳
Do read the bio for this author as it seems quite different. Such a difficult life, but not a hint of that in her writing… which is rather inspiring.

The colours are lovely so you aren’t allowed to waste it!

I had not heard of that author. Incredible how some writers just vanish. Frog it, quickly!
