There wasn’t quite as much reading this month as I had intended, but that’s a good thing since I had two trips in September. One was a family wedding, and one was a vacation, and between the two I did essentially no reading for just over a week. I wouldn’t have changed anything about the… Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up: September 2025→| BookWyrm Knits

In September, knitting was back to my main craft outlet, and so nearly all of my craft progress was counted here. (AKA there was no sewing and minimal spinning to take craft time and yet not add to the numbers. The only craft thing I really did in September which didn’t count was the cross… Continue reading WIP Wrap-up for September 2025→| BookWyrm Knits
I'm going to play with color today! I'll be looking at book covers on my shelves that have fall colors... so deep reds, oranges, and maybe a little bit of darker yellow or a hint of dark purple. I'm going for colors that feel like the changing colors of tree leaves.… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday ~ Fall Colors→| BookWyrm Knits

The Nine-to-Five socks are finished! I’m keeping these for my personal collection of handknit socks, and anxiously looking forward to when the weather cools down enough to start wearing them again. The pattern was really easy to follow, and the mock cable pattern looks a lot more complicated than it actually was. It will sound… Continue reading FO Wednesday: Nine-to-Five Socks→| BookWyrm Knits
Today's official prompt is Literary/Bookish Candles I’d Make (Pick a book and assign it a fragrance or fragrance combo that would make a nice candle.) (Submitted by Heather @ The Frozen Library), and that sounds like a really interesting idea. I'm curious to see what everyone else comes up with for that prompt! However, since I share my anticipated releases posts as four installments (instead of just two) I'm doing this today instead.… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday ~ Most Anticipated B...| BookWyrm Knits
