They've started on their journey and, for the first time ever, they're in the natural world around them. Many of the comforts of their automated world have been stripped away; that could send them both running back to the known world ... or not.

Reading:

Just After Sunset by Stephen King. I'm back to loving short stories. Apparently King is the only one who can make that happen. He's got notes on the origins of each story at the back of the book and I'm reading those as I finish each story. It's always interesting to see the various things that can trigger stories for authors.

Knitting:
Both the wrist warmers are complete, with no help from the designer. I suspect that at this point, with the project being marked complete on my site, she won't be replying. It's obvious that I figured it out after all. I do hope she updates the pattern for anybody attempting to make it in the future. Anyhow, since those are finished I started on the second half of the project.



That right there is 25 inches of Drop Stitch Scarf. I'm not sure how long it should end up being ... I should probably ask about that. I know it'll stretch a little bit, probably between 1/2 inch and 1 inch, with I block it. I won't want to stretch too much as then I loose width and the dropped stitches look wonky then.
