SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026My plan to wall 59(ish) miles by the ebd of October has been a success! My next challenge is turning that into 500 miles by next September. Thankfully, @pecunium.bsky.social is doing the same challenge, so there is a bit of friendly rivalry going on. 000

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 04/10/2026So, I know my newest craft is inkle weaving, BUT, you see, there was this video on Instagram about sewing leaves so now I have leaves sitting in a bowl in my kitchen in vegetable glycerine... 000
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I experimented and now have an informed opinion. Even walking it, a marathon over the course of a week is *much* more enjoyable for me than doing the whole thing in one go. Next challenge for me is 59 miles by the end of October, then 500 miles by next September (overlapping, already started). 001
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Thank you! I will aim to set it up again in the next few days before my momentum fades! That's useful advice, I appreciate it. 010
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You're very nice to say so! I was pulling tight after beating, but I think it's going to take some practice for me for that final tug to be consistent. I was trying for as tight as possible in some places, so now I at least know that I want to go for less tension than that! 110

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I am attempting to learn band weaving on an Inklette loom. First attempt: my tension is *wildly* inconsistent. 121
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 28/09/2026True. In context, I had a conversation in my teens/early 20s (I remember who with but not exactly when) about things like hairstyle/glasses/new clothes. I was convinced by that conversation that everyone wins if you bounce into a room going "look, shiny!" rather than it being some kind of test. 010

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Is there a way to read QC that will keep track of where I'm up to for me? (E.g. Like Tapas for Side Quested.)

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 31/07/2026There are several things wrong with this bit of weaving / kumihimo. One is that I don't think the colours go together as well as I thought they did before I started. Another is that it isn't art for the @laworldcon.bsky.social art show... 021

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 15/07/2026My previous review was premature. I found myself pulled back to this book, despite deciding to give up several times. Yes, it needs a good editing pass or two (which I'd be happy to help with). It's also engaging, with some characters I like enough that I really want to see what happens to them. 100
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Overall fun, but the minor need for an editing pass kept pulling me out of the story, and I ended up not finishing it. 4of4 000

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I liked a lot of the descriptive turns of phrase, and the storyline hangs together, though overall I feel the book would benefit from one more editing pass (e.g. 'book' and 'novel' are not interchangeable words, 2of4 100

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The main problem with things like this is not the "wrong" thing itself. That's minor. It's that now I'm primed to notice *other* minor things, and it all adds up to me enjoying the book less. (E.g. "The England skies" instead of England's skies or The English skies.) Tiny issues, all in a heap. 000
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 08/07/20263 of 3 Implying she always wears an entirely unnecessary lab coat... She goes to therapy after work on Friday. Probably still wearing the labcoat. It is not mentioned. I will keep reading for a bit longer, maybe there will be a reason soon? Other than that the author has never met a scientist? 110
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 08/07/20262 of 3 She gets to work. Why is she travelling in a labcoat? Maybe her boss will tell her off? She sits down at her computer. She's in heliophysics. She doesn't even work in a lab! When is someone going to mention the crazy lab coat? We gloss over the week, implying her dressing routine was normal. 110
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 08/07/20261 of 3 Why does this happen in books? Beginning, getting an idea of the physical presence of the main character. Mentions that she's a scientist. Fine, makes sense she is thinking about work as she gets ready. She puts her labcoat on. What?! She's still at home! She's about to *drive* to work! 110

SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 05/07/2026The darkness in book 2 is not overwhelming. There are notes of hope, and of overcoming the bad things in this world to bring about something better. Overall, more to my taste than not. 4/5 stars. First book blew me away though! Pretty hard to follow something that good! 000
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Whilst I would recommend reading them in order, the main part of the immediate story stands alone, and the overarching plot would, I think, be followable even if you hadn't read the first. (That said, read the first in this series - it's brilliant.) 100
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I generally like to see that, though reading the books immediately one after the other, I found some of the romance-related part a little jarring. 110
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 05/07/2026This is the second book in the series, and if you liked the first, you are likely to enjoy it. The tone feels a little darker as our PoV character is less naive. There is character development between the books (caused by experiences in the first). 100
SK @intemporaliter.bsky.social · 05/07/2026As promised, review of the hugo shortlisted novels continues! A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett.
