I got an iron on my jacket this morning, and now it‘s done! Next up: the trousers. I‘ve mostly finished them, but I want to redo the lining because the stuff I chose is way too loud.

I‘m making good progress through MEMORIES OF ICE, too. It amazes me how very D&D the worldbuilding is, but I guess that‘s all in line with Erikson‘s stated goal to offer a more nuanced take on a particular kind of fantasy. #MFMarch #audiosewing

xicanti Also of note: while in some ways he‘s moved his characters away from archetypes, everyone still engages in a LOT of intense interior monologing on the Epic Events Through Which They Live(TM). That makes them feel more archetypical than they otherwise might. 2d

Tomorrow I need to do the sleeve buttonholes, topstitch the lapels, and press the shit out of it. Then my tweed jacket is finally done!

To be honest, I didn‘t listen to a TON of DEADHOUSE GATES while I worked because the last week has all been fiddly handsewn stuff I wanted to focus on—and because, unpopular opinion coming up, I liked GARDENS OF THE MOON more than this one. Still, I‘m invested enough to tackle #3 in due course. #audiosewing

xicanti Please pardon my dummy‘s bra. Whoever made it assumed no one on this earth has ever had breasts bigger than a smallish B-cup (an assumption shared by many fashion designers, which is a big part of why I started sewing in the first place) and this is the only way I can properly test the drape. 2w

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!! 3w

Why I love Malazan books 📖

Pickpick

Another massive book in Erikson's epic Malazan Book of the Fallen series, this 8th installment took a long time to read, but I loved every minute of it. Much of the action takes place in the city of Darujhistan and we get reacquainted with a number of characters from earlier books.

Erikson juggles about a dozen storylines and even more points-of-view but it all worked for me.

For those of you who are familiar with the series, the mischievous character is the inimitable Kruppe, of course!
