- I have a new toy! I bought a ring distaff from an etsy shop to use while spinning and I've been playing with it today. I haven't quite figured out how best to use it yet - holding it means I have to hold the fiber differently than I'm used to and I can already feel that it's going to be, like, ergonomically better, but it's still an adjustment.
- Also, it's purple and has a dragon head on the top, because that's fucking rad.
- I checked out the first volume of Witch Hat Atelier from the library last week because the art was pretty and now I'm three volumes in and trying desperately to convince myself to wait for library copies rather than buying my own. I don't have shelf space to start buying manga, you guys, even if I am currently obsessed with it.
( - I am also resolutely ignoring the fact that I could buy electronic copies instead, as that renders my shelf space argument moot.)
- Relatedly - every time I read black and white comics with pretty art, I find myself thinking of buying copies not just to read but to color. I used to want to do that whenever I'd read black and white reprints of Silver Age DC comics too. I suppose I should just find scans online and print out my own coloring pages, really.
