Knitting: Instead of showing you the same projects I've had on the needles the last weeks or so, I'm showing you what I am about to cast on next ;) Octopus Mittens - love the colours and when I found a skein of orange in the mail last week (from the Totie Toe Sock Yarn Club), I knew it had to be a pair of these mittens.
Reading: I started to read The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma last night. This is the first book in a serie.
Enter a world of wonder, intrigue and adventure …
London, 1896. Andrew Harrington’s beloved has been murdered by Jack the Ripper. Claire Haggerty longs to escape the constraints of Victorian society. For both, time is the problem: to escape it, to change it, might offer them the hope they need. As their lives become entangled with that of H.G. Wells — who is basking in the success of his novel The Time Machine — all three set off on a desperate flight through the centuries.
But what happens when we alter history? That is the question explored in this epic page-turner, which will take you on a dazzling ride back and forth in time.
those mittens are going to be spectacular!
