Welcome to Litsy!

I still have to sew all the ends in and block the thing, but here‘s a preview of the hexagonal spirals blanket I made for my cousin‘s baby.

I get to do this tedious work while I listen to MADENSKY SQUARE, my last unread adult Eva Ibbotson novel! I‘m so, so glad my library finally subscribed to the bookish bits of Hoopla so I can experience it at long last. It‘s amazing so far. Ibbotson had such love for people, and for Vienna. #audioknitting

Susanna owns a dress shop in Vienna and this is her diary of one year (1910/11) in the life of Madensky Square, its inhabitants and visitors.

This was an enchanting book; funny, charming, sad, frustrating but overall just delightful. Great escapism!

Eva Ibbotson: perfect for rainy days like today, sunny days, cold days, dark days... Basically every single day. She's been my favourite author ever since my primary school offered us a free book in 2002 and I chose Journey to the River Sea. My dream is to one day own a copy of every book of hers. If you like romance, strong women, or adventure I definitely recommend giving her books a try!
