You can find her designs on Ravelry, <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stores/the-kitchen-sink-shop-designs" target="_blank">here</a> (or click on the pic above) although you have to pay for last year's designs now. But if you sign up for her newsletter you should get these year's designs for free each month. I find these very soothing to knit and so pretty and useful.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">... and this is what I have been reading so far this year...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDa6qZfisIWf3vXl_4Nf3q2tT-YbjB6G0BvBGeHYORCJ26dXclELSZx1BKya_UEr-ADTsw7MLJbyf1r3IlQf4olMRuTJ4Q94Ymejibx9GRfDLtM8Mj8cRb5PLl-gYRrMrh-uMG4BhclmTpqiaQHv0mmP7tjdh7Hktpb2LK1U5cyQIlq1NCXI1FXz3g=s1226" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1058" data-original-width="1226" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiDa6qZfisIWf3vXl_4Nf3q2tT-YbjB6G0BvBGeHYORCJ26dXclELSZx1BKya_UEr-ADTsw7MLJbyf1r3IlQf4olMRuTJ4Q94Ymejibx9GRfDLtM8Mj8cRb5PLl-gYRrMrh-uMG4BhclmTpqiaQHv0mmP7tjdh7Hktpb2LK1U5cyQIlq1NCXI1FXz3g=w400-h345" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I would have to say, don't bother with either The Girl with the Stars (even though I have really loved all of Mark Lawrence's other novels) or Trigger Mortis (adolescent rubbish, really). I am rereading the Matthew Reilly's Jack West Jr series as the final one has come out but they are a VERY light read and you have to suspend a lot of disbelief. The real gem that I have discovered this year is <a href="https://www.louisepenny.com/" target="_blank">Louise Penny and her Inspector Gamache series</a>. At first they seem like a light read, too, but they have so much depth to them which becomes more with each novel in the series. I can highly recommend them (and I am learning a lot about Quebec, too). Update: Stanley Tucci's book was a delight!</span></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, that is me for this past month (yes, I know it is Feb already but at least I am trying - lol!)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">hugs,<span style="font-size: 14.85px;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPzM8C5oG0oeS0567uPLNR2_eIIx02XnpmnXDboc09UdklyCl2EEmpiET3F7RyFH2K1IwdT-fIbvtEK07v1AYUgjeF7wz0SEqG1CJpqYMyeUaVdP6ZYjG0YiLx2AhDI8F75jF3bopHr3O/s1600/Kaye.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #6699cc; display: inline-block; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" data-pin-nopin="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPzM8C5oG0oeS0567uPLNR2_eIIx02XnpmnXDboc09UdklyCl2EEmpiET3F7RyFH2K1IwdT-fIbvtEK07v1AYUgjeF7wz0SEqG1CJpqYMyeUaVdP6ZYjG0YiLx2AhDI8F75jF3bopHr3O/s1600/Kaye.gif" style="border: none; height: auto; max-width: 100%; position: relative;" /></a></div></div>Kaisievichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628541004778657122.post-19737252724166439702021-04-13T08:05:00.001+10:002021-04-13T11:09:52.126+10:00TUSAL Report_April 2011 Update<p> <span style="font-family: verdana;">Okay, TUSAL time again, here are my April ORTs....

You can read <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><a href="https://kittenstitching.blogspot.com/2021/03/february-out-and-about-round-up.html" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Part One here</a><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif">.</span></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the last week of February, TraderVic and I set off on our first journey in over a year! Like so many of us across the world, our travels have been limited and in our second Lockdown last year we could not move more than 5km from our home for over 115 days!</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, TraderVic and I were very happy to hop into the car to make the nine hour or so drive up to Sydney to see DS2 and his lovely girlfriend. We were also excited to be able to spend some time with our dear friends, Marie and Tony who are living in Sydney for six months to spend time with their two daughters and their new grandchildren. Please Note: the babies are NOT my grandbabies, alas - they are Marie and Tony's - TraderVic and I are still waiting patiently (but maybe not so patiently on my part - lol!) for grandchildren to be even thought of by our younger generation!</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The pics are all randomly placed - Enjoy!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
