❓ What do you like to pair books with in your photos? . Is this yarn not gorgeous?! 🧶😍 And even better, it's called Dirigible Sunrise from @nerdgirlyarns . I bloody love that name!!! 😆 . Pairing book covers and yarn might be one of my new favorite things. It helps that The House on the Cerulean Sea was one of my favorite reads of last year. It's such a hug in a book! I turned my sweet friend @nickery (who, incidentally, was also the one who gave me this awesome yarn) onto this book. I hope she's enjoying it as much as I am. . Bonus QOTD: What was the last hug of a book you read? . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #thehouseontheceruleansea #tjklune #nerdgirlyarns #nerdgirlyarn #yarnandbooks #booksandyarn #yarnandbook #bookandyarn

Another corner of the new apartment 🏠 is complete. We hung bookshelves 📚 we recovered from the old apartment after the fire. Thanks to A few cycles of Murphys Oil Soap 🧼 and lemon 🍋 oil polish they’re as good as the day we made them! - One of my favorite pieces is my vintage yarn 🧶 swift! It made it out of the apartment a bit soggy, so @lularoejenpearce acted fast at carefully sanding all the intricate detail in the wood molding! She opened her home to us giving us space to lay out all the wet books all over her backyard, and use her ozone machine to get the smoke 💨 smell out of books 📚 and yarn 🧶 that survived I’m so very appreciative for her help in saving a lot of our most treasured belongings! - Every day we pull another item out of the POD that holds all our belongings recovered from the fire, and we strip it down and give it a new start! It’s an emotional roller coaster still, but I’m so excited for the new year full of all these new beginnings! - #newbeginnings #newapartment #apartmentfire #startingover #newyearnewstart #thankfulforfamily #mysilrocks #knitlife #knitlifechoseme #handmadebookshelf #handmadeisbetter #marthawashingtonsewingcabinet #knittersofinstagram #instaknitters #knittersgonnaknit #yarnstash #yarnlife #yarnlovers #knittingismylovelanguage #knitting_is_love #knittingismytherapy #thankfulforfamily #ilovebooks #bookstagram #bookshelves #booksofinstagram #booksandyarn #yarnandbooks #alwaysreading #alwaysknitting https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWySwhF_Nr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=otlxqxavxc5u

❓ #QOTD - What's the hobby you know the most about. Not necessarily one that you do or even like, but what's the one you're most familiar with? . Happy Friday, friends! Oh! Can #FiberFriday be a thing? Anywaze, I've got a whole gaggle of pics for y'all today; I couldn't decide on just one, so swippity-swipe away! . There's a pretty long yarn incoming. Strap in. (See what I did there? 😉). . The other month or so when I visited family, my mom let me at her yarn stash. "Whatever you want to take is fine," she said. Y'all, that is like letting setting a toddler free in a candy shop and telling them to go wild. <commence running around and squealing like a squirrel> 😆 🐿. . Okay, so here's the thing. My mom has been a craft queen for decades. So I got some really lovely stuff from her. Cotton yarn from Greece, silk and rayon, some lovely wool blends, tweed acrylic. What's in the first picture is a mere fraction of what I brought home from her. Thank you, Mom! 🧶 💖. . Now, my fiber knowledge game isn't very good, but I am NOT about squander these lovely yarns. So on the recommendation of one of @tlyarncrafts latest YouTube videos, I picked up a copy of "Yarn Substitutions Made Easy" by Carol J Sulcoski. . This book knows its stuff. We start off by examining what different yarns look like on the microscopic level and how those microscopic differences give different materials the traits they have. I'm only on section 2 and I already feel like buckets of understand have been dumped on me. Like Gatorade on the winning coach at the Superbowl. . Yeah, I know. This is peak nerdy, but if you're at all interested in fiber, I cannot recommend this book enough. . Side note: Do y'all see that fluffalicious pup beside me? Do you think we could get some good yarn from him? . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #yarnbooks #booksandyarn #yarnandbooks #bookandyarn #yarnandbook #yarnbook #yarnlove #fiberlove #crochetallday https://www.instagram.com/p/CLeRbOIs_Vx/?igshid=17pwqzase7ew9

❓ #QOTD - What’s something you love that other people think is ugly? I made another thing! I call it the vile sweater 😂. . Made from all my extra bits of yarn, some of which are doubled up for thickness, I love this terrible sweater 🧶. . Best of all, it has pockets! . Honestly, if an article of clothing doesn’t have pockets, what are we even doing here? Anyway, I love how big it is. The thing practically swallows me, though I think I need to add some buttons or ties or something because it’s so slouchy it tends to fall off. … Life stuff: I’m plodding away on the silly sci-fi book. I’m close to halfway through the first edit--a huge bit of flailing over a train wreck of a chapter yesterday notwithstanding. After which I’ll go right back to the beginning to fix some stuff I know needs some serious work. Then it’ll be off to critique partners and my first reader 😱. Gotta finish the thing first, tho. . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #crochet #uglysweater #crochetedsweater #yarnandbooks #booksandyarn #yarnaholic #bookaholic #addictedtobooks #addictedtoyarn #crochetallday #crochet

❓ #QOTD - What's your bookish hot take? Mine: I hated "Wurthering Heights." I'm sorry. I get what the book is saying, but I wanted to line up all the characters and give them all one long smack all the way down the row. My copy, however, does match my latest @knitcrate yarn, beatifully, tho. It's gonna make such a cozy cowl, perfect for walking the chilly moors on a foggy day, bare trees vague outlines in the distance, while one considers their gothic existence. ... I did a workout today, after which I treated myself with a homemade pumpkin spice latte and another (yes, _another_) rewatch of Pride and Prejudice. I adore the film version with Kieran Knightly. Extra QOTD: What's the film you watch over and over again? . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #booksandyarn #yarnandbooks #bookandyarn #yarnandbook #wurtheringheights #emilybronte #emilybrontë #gothicliterature #classicliterature #classiclit

❓ #QOTD - Just holla back if you're psyched for fall like I am. Y'all, I might as well be living off pumpkin spice lattes with how jazzed I am about fall rolling in. The last few mornings have been beautiful, perfect weather for sipping coffee outside with a cozy cardigan or scarf for that little bit of extra warmth needed. And all the fall goodies are coming in at work--butternut squash mac and cheese, pumpkin ravioli, maple oat milk, the list goes on and on. And look at this month's fabulous yarn from @knitcrate ! If that doesn't scream fall, I don't know what does. And it's so soft! I wish y'all could squish it with me. Since orange is my favorite color, I'm pairing these gorgeous yarns with my own book baby, "Into the Fire". And this month's crochet pattern, a pair of fingerless gloves with beautiful lacework is the perfect match for my victorian era-esque steampunk fantasy adventure 😄! . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersoftumblr #yaauthor #yalit #yawriter #yarnandbooks #yarnandbook #booksandyarn #bookandyarn #steampunk #steampunkbook #steampunkbooks #steampunkreads #steampunkreading

"brainworms are a THING" ~ Credit my dear friend, @graydeej . Y'all, she wasn't even talking about me, but we are on the same level. This week the brain worms have been strong. I just could not focus this week--squirrel! Basicallly just lots of video games this week and crochet. I am proud of myself, though, because (and I know it's riduculous), I spent a bunch of time cutting apart some yarn cakes into their individual colors to make these pretties. ❓ #QOTD - What did you do this week? . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #bookrainbow #bookishrainbow #yarnrainbow #booksandyarn #yarnandbooks #rainbowyarn #rainbowbooks

❓ #QOTD - Do you get subscription boxes? If so, which ones? So, after discovering the fantabulous @tlyarncrafts on YouTube (who is such a lovely person and her videos are my new happy), I signed up for @knitcrate . 🧶 And I am SO EXCITED about my first one. I was too excited, in fact, when I signed up because I didn't actually realize then that the yarn and the pattern you get in the box go together. SQUEEEE! 😆 All yarny peeps know the struggle of buying new yarn--what do I do with it now? And, y'all, LOOK! It matches my nails 💅 AND my latest book 📘 purchase! To quote Kronk from "The Emperor's New Groove", oh, yeah, it's all coming together. I'm planning for my next read to be the audio version of "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune, and the shrug project this yarn is destined for will keep me company while I do 😁. . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #yarnandbooks #booksandyarn #bookandyarn #matchingnails #nailsandbooks #nailsandbook #booksandnails #bookandnails #yarnandnails #nailsandyarn

❓ #QOTD - What's something making you happy today? Today's post has been brought to you by recent things making me happy. Virtual hugs on offer for anyone who needs them. I know I do. 💓 I'm fine, btw, just very, very tired. 1️⃣) So first in the list of recent things making me happy, I placed a "#quaranskein" order from @blizzardyarn and got this gorgeous rainbow pack and rainbow unicorn stitch markers. 😍 🌈 🧶 Many thanks to @opentothelibrary for telling me about this shop 😄. 2️⃣) Next in the list is Reticence by @gailcarriger . I'm only a little way in and already it's my favorite of the Custard Protocol books. Maybe because the chapter I'm on feels a little like a reunion show, but not one of those sad ones where everyone clearly doesn't want to be there but they're contractually oblgated to. But rather the sort where everyone is genuinely glad to be back together, and the plot is ramping up to a really interesting place, but I won't say because spoilers. Praise be to the book gods for books like this in a time like now! 3️⃣) Thing the third making me happy is Victoria sponge cake--not pictured because I ATE IT! I made some for Easter and have plans to make more later this week. ... I'm off to the day job today but taking some time to listen through the audiobook for Into the Fire (which I am loving, by the way), coming out SOON! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, y'all! Take care, my friends, and be gentle with yourselves. . . . . . #booknerd #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookworm #read #reader #reading #lovetoread #bookdragon #bookwyrm #booknerd #booknerdigans #danafraedrich #booksandyarn #yarnandbooks #yarnandbook #bookandyarn #gailcarriger #custardprotocol #reticence #steampunkbook #happybook
