Gardens of the Moon: Book One of The Malazan Book of the Fallen | Steven Erikson

The provisional sleeve-set went well on both sides, thanks to 8300 pins. Only seven more steps until my jacket‘s ready for its Parisian debut!

I‘ve made good progress through GARDENS OF THE MOON, too. I like it a lot more than I did the first time I tried it, but I don‘t think it‘ll hit Love status. Still, most people agree this is the series‘ weakest book, so I‘ll look forward to the next one. #MFMarch #audiosewing

Mimi28 That‘s really cool!! 13h

xicanti @Mimi28 thanks! 10h

Butterfinger I love following your progress. 9h

Wind and Truth | Brandon Sanderson

I spent a goodly chunk of my Louis Riel Day listening to WIND AND TRUTH while I sewed the bulk of a new jacket to take to Paris. It‘s impossible to tell from the picture, but this tweed is shot through with green and goldenrod. I‘m really happy with it.

I‘m also so glad the book came in for me! At 63 hours, it‘ll be a stretch to get it finished before my month off from American writers, but it‘s doable. #audiosewing

BkClubCare Cool. 2w

Butterfinger So pretty. 2w

Soubhiville 63 hours?!?! Wow that‘s a big commitment. 2w

Singout A month off from American writers as a political statement? Or because you‘re going to France? 2w

xicanti @Soubhiville I listen at 3x speed, but it‘s still gonna be a pretty lengthy undertaking. 2w

xicanti @Singout it‘s something I do every year because I need breaks from the way that many, if not most, American creators write with the assumption that their audience is entirely American, primed to treat their culture as the default. It‘s really fucking nice to have a month where I‘m not gonna run up against things like temperatures in °F or nicknames for grades. I won‘t deny, though, that I need it more this year than I usually do. 2w

Lindy Louis Riel is a character in the play I attended in Vancouver on Saturday: Women of the Fur Trade by Frances Koncan. Your blazer is looking fine! 2w

xicanti @Lindy Riel‘s doing the theatrical rounds lately. A friend recently saw an opera about his romantic life. 2w

Lindy @xicanti 😁♾️👍 2w

10 Things That Never Happened | Alexis Hall

I‘ve sewn up a storm this month, which is a big part of why I‘ve been reading so slowly. I move around enough and make so much noise that #audiosewing isn‘t often an option for me now I‘ve switched from phone-listening to iPad-listening (sans wireless earbuds), but I did get through a fair chunk of the tagged book while I did the hem on this piece by hand. The story‘s got me chortling merrily away, AND it‘s put me in the mood for holiday romances.

LaraS This looks awesome! I never have the patience for sewing a hem by hand, I know having an invisible hem makes a huge difference but by the time I get to the hem I'm too excited to finish. 😂 1y

xicanti @LaraS we had a long power outage yesterday morning, so I couldn‘t operate my iron or my sewing machine. I figured this fabric would be easier to deal with if I hemmed it by hand anyways, and in I went! 1y

To Have and to Heist | Sara Desai

Palate cleanser heist/romance story accompanied today's #audiosewing.

A bit of Ocean's 8/11/12/13, a great crew including an octogenarian grease person. It was fun to listen to.

#LitsyCrafters @Catsandbooks

No interference from the #creatures today, they are both soaking up the sunshine.

Catsandbooks So cool!! 🎮 1y

MissyD So cool. Maybe I should go an audio knitting session. 🤣 1y

Lady Ludmilla's Accidental Letter | Sofi Laporte

so-so

A bit "The Importance of Being Earnest" retelling.

A bit fun at first, then lots of overdone misunderstandings, and a reveal that could have been executed much better.

#audiobook was easy to listen to while I did some #audiosewing.

Out of the Blue | Jason June

I sewed my first handbag! It‘s the Sudbury Saddlebag from Charley‘s Aunt, a pattern company that specializes in vintage-style bags. I‘m beyond happy with it.

I‘m also loving the tagged book! It‘s got the perfect mix of wacky fun and heavy emotions, with a whole ton of quirky magic and a deep knowledge of romcom tropes. I hope the last 25% holds up. It‘s free this week though Audiophile Sync, if you want to give it a go. #audiosewing #gaymay

dabbe Cool bag! I love the purple! 💜💜💜 2y

xicanti @dabbe thanks! I kept hold of this fabric for a looooong time while I waited for the right pattern to come along. 2y
