Cardigan is just the tip of the iceberg, with the relatable story of Betty being especially heartbreaking.
One of my favourite pieces of knitwear that I think, you know, it pretty much went viral, the JW Anderson Patchwork Cardigan and they eventually released a pattern to be able to make it yourself.

I don't know that I would invest the time into doing it if it weren't a book I was planning on picking up again. So the book that I'm going to be using as an example today is this absolutely marvellous book Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood which is in my top three books of all time which is really saying something. I think it's absolutely exceptional. It's about this middle-aged woman who returns to Toronto where she grew up and she's reflecting on her childhood specifically an abusive friendship with a girl Cordelia and it's just so excellently done. I love how it plays with time and nostalgia. It's so so so clever in terms of rejecting and surpassing the Bildungsroman narrative structure. So let's go think through some ways that you can actually grangerise your books. Wow that's dusty. It's a little colder down here so I've had to put on a cardigan and I've got a hot cup of Earl Grey rooibos tea. But anyway I'm going to talk through how I plan to grangerise each of these books.

and on days I want to eat good and stay comfy, my safety blanket is an oversized cardigan.

It just grows convinced that it now hates mummy, that little brother should die, that the button falling off the cardigan is a catastrophe, that its self-respect depends on being allowed to throw the bread knife out of the window sharp-end first.

So then on the sides here as you can see there are two pockets where you can put again a water bottle or a umbrella like affordable foldable umbrella and what I like about these side pockets is if you're not using it you can actually zip it up so it's really nice and sleek and you can't even tell if there's pockets but when I do stick a water bottle in here it does need to stay open because I can't really squeeze I can squeeze it in here now because this bag is empty but if it's filled with clothes and other items it's really hard to stick a water bottle in there so most of the times when I'm when I have this bag panic with stuff and I use the side pocket I do have to open it but I love it it's like so it's nice how it's like this nice stretchy material here and it easily zips up their zippers are top-notch they're very durable easy to use I never get stuck so all of their zippers are top of the line you can carry it a few different ways you can either carry it like this where you can put it over your shoulder and you can actually snap there's like two snap button closures here if you want to put the straps together this one is like a little bit of padding if you you know put it on your if you carry it on your shoulder or if you want to wrap it around there are there is a long removable strap with a I don't know what you call it padded sleeve you can actually remove this pad sleeve if you don't want to have it on there but I recommend keeping it on there because this bag when it's heavy is not comfortable to carry it without the padded sleeve so definitely for me I have to keep this on because there are times when I do carry it like this instead of using the handles to carry with this over my shoulder and then the third way you can carry this and this is how I usually carry the bag is there is a laptop not sorry there is a luggage sleeve in the back here so if I'm not using this as a luggage sleeve it actually has two zippers and you can use it as actual pocket but if I don't want to use it as a pocket and use it as a luggage sleeve I unzip the bottom and this then goes inside and this thing slips right into my luggage up my luggage I handle so this is how I usually carry it because you know it is heavy once it's filled so I don't really carry it that often on my shoulder I do like to put place this on top of either my um on top of my carry-on bag and that way you know all the weight is lifted off of me and placed onto my suitcase there is also a front pocket here and I like to stash like miscellaneous items like tissue uh little snacks and wipes uh face masks but this is where I store like my little items when I'm traveling that I need easy access to this is where I put everything there's something that I also have not ever seen on other tote bags uh which already this already has a lot of features but this has an additional feature which I thought was really cool like I didn't even notice this at first but this is actually velcro straps here you could tell and it basically say like you're carrying um maybe a blank like a little blanket with you on your flight or you have like a a cardigan or a light jacket you can actually you know slip this through and carry it that way sometimes you know you want to you're wearing layers when you get hot um and yeah you can instead of stuffing it inside here if you have no more room in here you can actually kind of like put it inside here or you can use this to carry like long items I don't have a yoga mat but I can definitely see like if you want a bit of yoga mat in here and you can definitely do that there's just like so many ways you can use this feature um I feel like the possibilities of like are pretty endless all right so I think that I've gone over all the features again this bag this tote bag has so many features so many useful features um if you're someone that likes to organize your items or need specific places to put your items um I like that there's so many different places to like okay I got a I got a separate um compartment for my laptop I got a separate compartment for my shoes for my clothes my water bottle um if I have a yoga mat or something else that I want to slip through you know slide through here I can carry it different ways um the main way I carry this because this tends to get heavy is using the luggage sleeve so sweet so that is my review of the Lohan Suns Catalina Deluxe Tote Bag.
And it basically, say, like, you're carrying, um, maybe a blanket, like a little blanket with you on your flight, or you have, like, a a cardigan or a light jacket, you can actually, you know, slip this through and carry it that way.
And then sewed the cardigan on top because we thought the shoulders were showing too much.
and then we created a top out of a scarf and then sewed the cardigan on top because we thought, like, the shoulders were showing too much,
and a person who has, in the last two years, become one of the great advocates for Cardigan Mountain School in Washington, DC.
Thank you, Jane, for all that you have done and do for Cardigan.
