“His thoughts churned up inside him, silt clouding a pool of water. Humans were so circular; they lived the same slow cycles of joy and misery over and over, never learning. Every lesson in the universe had to be taught billions of times, and it never stuck. How arrogant we are, Adam thought, to deliver babies who can’t walk or talk or feed themselves. How sure we are that nothing will destroy them before they can take care of themselves. How fragile they were, how easily abandoned and neglected and beaten and hated. Prey animals were born afraid. He had not known to be born afraid, but he’d learned. Maybe it was good that the world forgot every lesson, every good and bad memory, every triumph and failure, all of it dying with each generation. Perhaps this cultural amnesia spared them all. Perhaps if they remembered everything, hope would die instead.” - Blue Lily, Lily Blue, Maggie Stiefvater

“His feelings for Adam were an oil spill; he’d let them overflow and now there wasn’t a damn place in the ocean that wouldn’t catch fire if he dropped a match.” - The Raven King, Maggie Stiefvater

As part of The Raven Boys series that I’m doing, I thought it might as well be time to start on Adam. If you’ve read the books, you know Adam’s iconic Coca-Cola red t-shirt. I had been looking for a red to fit that colour. Then, I found it in my Moms yarn stash. I’m very excited to start this.

I will make note if I use any modifications.

• It should be noted that all of the skeins are approximates. The yarn didn’t come with a tag. All I know is that 400 yards = 100 grams, and the first ball weighed in at 57, and the second weighed in at 58, so I’m just using approximates.
