pickThis had the information I was looking for about the various oils. The recipes are probably not "beginner" level, but nice references for what is possible. Excellent reference.

pickThis hybrid narrative nonfiction/memoir is charming and engaging, and vaulted over my reflexive dislike of memoir. If the reflections of a woman who spent the COVID pandemic shearing a sheep, carding/spinning/dyeing the wool, and knitting it into a sweater sounds like your bag, check it out!
Here's my emergency #Bookspin list for May.
Couldn't come up with anything better. Been battling with a bad phase of depression for the last weeks. Got new meds some days ago, spent yesterday night at the ER (because of an allergic reaction or 'cause they are too strong...).
Now at my doctor's.
I yearn for things to get better and my life to get back on track...

pickI loved the premise of this: during Covid, the author sets out to make a sweater from scratch. Not just knitting it, but going all the way back to the starting point by learning to shear a sheep—and then learning all the other steps in between. I expected more about the process of making, but there was a fairly even balance between the mistakes and triumphs of shearing, spinning, dyeing, and knitting, and the author‘s reflections along the way. ⤵️
This year is flying by…my April #bookspin list!
Thank you for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks 📚
pickCovid arrives and the author decides to make a sweater from scratch. From shearing the sheep, spinning and dyeing the wool, and making the sweater. I enjoyed her humor and the particular items she chose to go into depth on, especially color and the origin of particular colors (from bugs). The last quarter of the book got a bit bogged down, but overall I enjoyed it.
February hopefuls. #bookspin #doublespin @thearomaofbooks
