Alice Lemoine - Knitwear


For those who know me, you're aware that I like anything crafty. I crochet and knit and sew little things, and I love learning new stitches. Have been thinking I want to start a new knitting project so I've been looking around to see what I might should do. I have yarn enough for an afghan, but keep thinking that I want to make a sweater - something I think may not take quite as long as an afghan.

Not long ago, I fell in love with Katniss' victor sweater from Hunger Games Catching Fire movie. In looking around for who created it, I ran across Alice Lemoine's work. I hoped for a pattern that I could use to make one for myself vs having to figure out how to do it myself and found a free pattern for a version of it on yarnspirations, but it's doesn't have the character that the original does - although it gives me enough of an idea of what I may need supply wise and might give me an idea of what size to make each piece. Really love the tail in the back and the un-constructed feel of the piece - would love to have one myself. I imagine Alice used lots of slipped stitches and a big pair of needles - such beautiful work.

Curse of Royatly Series Book Covers

Help me decide on the omnibus cover - this one or the following one? And would one of those work better for volume 4?     Omnibus cover option 1   Omnibus Cover option 2 These are the volume covers:     Book 1 Cover Redesign     Book 2 Cover     Book 3 Cover     Book 4 Cover - Should I nix this surprised expression for something a bit more subtle? Which ever image doesn't end up on the omnibus?

Writing: Lena - Chapter 2

    So - thought I'd post the second chapter of Lena's story too. Let me know if you're enjoying it?  Could possibly release the first installment of this 2 novella story before the end of May. With this story, I feel like I'm flopping around outside of my comfort zone and although it's uncomfortable, I'm assuming these are 'good' growing pains especially since the gospel is a bit more central than in the last story I put out there.   .2. Picked Up Just before sunrise, clouds lumbered off to the northwest. I shivered in my damp clothing and stepped onto the glistening onyx ribbon of road to consider my options: one, follow it to civilization and risk running into Ted or his crew, or two, risk a slow death by turning from the road into the dehydrating desert. I couldn’t tell how far I was from where I had started, and didn’t want to risk meeting anyone along the road once the sun had fully risen, but before I had made a conscious choice, I heard the grave...
