Nhi would like to be left alone to read her books and cultivate. Sadly she has to deal with people--even worse, said people are her peers and *someone* will have to take charge before everyone get themselves killed.

Large crowd in downtown Durham

Enormous turnout today in Durham (not my photo!) Vibe was very Durham: hot, friendly, a little wacky.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

#ShowMeYourKnits shawls! Shawls are fun art projects for me, with the funky patterns and opportunities to pull colors together.

Patterns are: Twists & Turns, Good Vibes, and Goldfish Memory.

I made this hat as a gift for my partner last winter! The pattern is Lake Reed and this was the third time I used that pattern for a gift hat.
