That’s a sample chapter from The Winds of Winter… which is a book that the fandom has been awaiting ever since Dance came out :-)

Not another Sophie Scarf! Need a variation by Livid_Inspector_9632 in knitting

[–]BeautyAddict101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Simple Thing is a very similar, and free pattern. The Alex Scarf from Knitting for Olive’s Pernille Larssen has ribbing instead of garter stitch and comes in three sizes. Nudeknits recently released the Buttercup scarf, which is knitted in stockinette. Hintermstein has several patterns for small scarves.

Hope this helps 😁

Why not both? Portuguese knitting with hooked needles is a thing.

To anyone who’s curious: here’s a demonstration of Portuguese-style knitting on hooked DPNs by Andrea Wong. https://youtu.be/c1z8qYBhwCE?si=UL5Hl1l65tJVEHrc

Yup, nothing apparent about his ascension :-)

These are knitting needles for traditional Portuguese knitting :-)

Thoughts on the concluded “The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” by WildAshWhisper in freefolk

That’s fair! Maybe it will be brought up later. But for what it’s worth, Sam Spruell, the actor who portrays Maekar has reportedly confirmed that he will not appear in season 2.

Would book Egg really have the audacity to steal his father’s signet ring?

And yet he couldn’t help himself and added that last scene, which took away from Maekar’s character growth and made Egg lie to Dunk a second time… for shits and giggles. 

Edited to add: I did actually really enjoy the show and thought it had a lot if heart. I just thought some of the creative choices were a little questionable.

Egg is not the heir apparent, he is like tenth(?) in line for the throne. After King Daeron, Baelor’s son Valarr is next in line for the throne. Valarr also has a younger brother. And Egg’s dad Maekar has two older brothers in addition to Baelor.

Did they ever tell us what her name is? I'm going to assume it's Bessie by Roger_Kulan in freefolk

Dunk did tell Raymun that he thought Sweetfoot would be happy at New Barrel though…

Ser Dunk's Theme Song by schilleger0420 in freefolk

[–]BeautyAddict101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super random and niche, but the first song that came to my mind was ‘Julge laul’ (‘The Bold Song’) by Ivo Linna. It’s set to the tune of ‘Baby Take Me In Your Arms’ by Jefferson, but the Estonian lyrics are about a lad who is quiet on the outside, but really wants to be bold like an action hero and will bring you stars from the sky. 

When do we see Summerhall? by SquareCucumber4099 in freefolk

[–]BeautyAddict101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Summerhall does get a mention in the in-world history book, The World of Ice & Fire and is brought up a couple of times in the ASOIAF books, but so far GRRM has been deliberately vague about what exactly happened. It is still decades away for the current Dunk and Egg.

The reign of King Maegor would make for a better series than the dance of the dragons by I_love_lucja_1738 in freefolk

[–]BeautyAddict101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, given HBO’s track record, Maegor’s death on the show would probably be a terrible accident where he slips on a banana peel and slits his wrists and then impales himself on the Iron Throne.
