Review : Knits for Nerds

Knits for Nerds: 30 Projects for Fans of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Comic BooksKnits for Nerds: 30 Projects for Fans of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Comic Books by a.k.a Toni Carr Joan of Dark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will admit that I am a coward with trying to know new items. I feel like I'm only just a beginner that's stuck at the beginner level. But looking at these knits I feel as if I need to try these!

This book has a little for everyone and honestly, I really enjoy that. It has wonderful color photos showing examples of the works completely. There are little snippets of the inspirations behind the works as well. There are size varients and suggestions for working the projects which is quite helpful.

I'd recommend this book to anyone honestly.

No I'm not dead...

Like it said, I'm not dead yet.  I just feel like it.  I've been sick the past week or so and I was doing ok until this morning.  Losing my voice and I wonder if I shouldn't just go to the doctor now.  Throat is really sore and it's cheaper for me to go to the student health than any where else.  Kinda worried about my throat.  And really, I don't want it to get worse.  I'll see how I feel as the day continues.

Anyway, more reviews are coming your way.  As soon as I remember what I read.....  I do remember reading Wool by Hugh Howey.  I bought it from amazon when it was .99 cents and it looked quite interesting.  And it was!  Depressing and interesting.  So that review should be up hopefully this week.  I haven't read much this week so I need to read more.  Of course, that means I need to download the books from my kindle on the computer to my Kindle.  lol

I will more than likely start posting my cards that I've been working on too.  I've decided maybe that would help me finish the rest.  I've just been lazy and haven't done it.  Which is depressing.  I'm really excited about these cards and excited to possibly have my fiance help me with all the little details.  She's good at that.

And Etsy shop should open soon for some of my knitted stuff.  I've sold one set of gloves, had a commission for another set and have been knitting scarves from the fun fur yarn.  I can't think of anything else to do with it so it's just scarves for right now.  The shop will probably also have my fiance's works as well when she's able to get to them and possibly prints of mine.  The tea cups are adorable and I kinda want to work on more of them.

I think that's all for now.  I can't think of anything else to write before work.  Remember to keep an eye out for the review on Wool.

Omg.....

I just have to post this because I'm amazed.  I've never had so many people visit this little blog before.  It made me so excited to see it and stunned.  Who knew that I'd get this many people in such a small time.  Small things amuse me and this is one of them.

So I'm going to go back to my knitting, my amazing Cherry Almond black tea and giggle excitedly at this blog.
