I never got to the weaving patterns, but I did finish Howard's End and read a lot of Twitter and links from there. Also began my semi-annual re-read of The Hobbit and LoTR, because comfort reading.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Happy sigh. Nothing like Austen for comfort reading! I go through all six at least once a year. The set is shelved right above the books in my icon - although I also have them on the Kindle for convenience (and because my set is from 1890-something and getting fragile).

This past year I finally caved and read The Mysteries of Udolfo - inspired, of course, by Catherine Morland. I was curious to see what all the fuss was about. It's so absurd and over the top and OMG LONG. I gather it created quite a sensation in its day, but it hasn't aged all that well (unlike Austen *g*).
