Flesh and Blood is a large story covering three generations and 100 years.

The book starts in 1935 with Constantine and his early childhood memories. Constantine falls in love with and marries Mary. Constantine is a young strong immigrant. Not comfortable with his english, but strong and determined to have the dream. Mary is pretty and sophisticated in Constantine’s eyes.

They have three children Elizabeth, Billy and Zoe. The book continues to follow their lives as people enter and leave.

The book is presented as snapshots of time. Brief images of the characters as they grow and evolve yet very detailed with a strong narrative. Within the first few pages the reader is comfortable with the characters.

Michael Cunningham is also the author of A Home at the End of the World: A Novel and The Hours: A Novel.

Flesh and Blood is a saga of growth, struggle, ambition, love, violence, heartache and loss. A wonderful drama that grips your chest and doesn’t let you breath till the end.

Just a Note Regarding Harry Potter

I just wanted to take a second and say that I nor anyone associated with this website approves of or appreciates the destructive and bigoted transphobic messages coming from J.K Rowling recently. If you are not familiar with the issues, ContraPoints does a fantastic job describing the issues.

While I say that, I do want to say, I really love Harry Potter and the wonderful world the books create. Such a delight and wonderful addition to the world.

Double Basket Beanie Pattern Is Live

I finally finished writing the pattern to my satisfaction and testing the various options. I’m really happy with this one. It’s an interesting and very squishy hat.

It is based on Barbara Walker’s Double Basket Pattern. The stitch pattern is just knits and purls.

Like my Basket Weave Beanie I’m writing the pattern to be easily sized by adjusting the number of stitch patterns knit.

If you are interested, you can buy the pattern on my ravelry store or click here: Buy Now.
