I am between level 1 and 2 of knitting addiction. I will never pass up a book store. 😀 #knittersoflitsy

I've decided that from now on every day is Champagne Thursday.🍷

ferskner Is the shark etched in??? 5y
MaleficentBookDragon @ferskner he is made of glass and in the middle of the inside of the glass, attached to a glass rod. If that makes sense. 5y
ferskner That is the craziest thing I've ever seen! And awesome! 5y
Avanders Wow what a cool glass!! 5y

"Admittedly, if you think about it from the non Knitters point of view, the statement "I play with string for several hours a day and never tire of it" does sound as if you're touched."

I'm feeling very scattered today. I've changed books 4 times and just had to frog my hat because I made a mistake IN ROW 3!?Then I discovered that this delightful book came off hold for me so, I'm switching books again.

The cool thing about not reading is that I‘m knitting again. When I was on prescribed psychiatric medications, I lost a lot of my creativity and since being off of meds now for 14 months, those sparks of creativity have returned. #knittery #mentalhealth

ErinC Audio books! 6y
ErinGoBragh1011 @ErinC I have tried them so many times and so many ways I can't focus on them. 6y
ErinC @ErinGoBragh1011 I can only focus in car (sometimes) and while walking. I don‘t blame you! 6y

I know there are lots of crafters on Litsy. Has anyone organized a crafting/ reading swap? I‘ve never done a swap before but I would be all in on that one!

AmyG I don‘t know what you are knitting...but the colors are lovely. 7y
cathysaid @AmyG Looks like a sock? 7y
Valink Correct, socks! I finally finished these last night, just in time for Hubby‘s birthday on a Sunday. I‘ve finished a bunch of other projects since starting these like a year and a half ago. It was a long slog through this project! @AmyG @cathysaid 7y

The unexpected and appreciated weekend of cold weather has kicked me into craft mode hardcore. Reading took a back seat to knitting. Off to a slow and steady start to a stash busting beekeeper quilt.

DogEaredBooks I‘ve always wanted to make one of these! Yours is turning out so nice already! (edited) 7y
Schlinkles @DogEaredBooks Thanks! This is definitely going to be a long term project. 7y
nightwitch Oh my goodness that is ADORABLE. 7y
Bookish.SAM A knitty friend tried to explain the beekeeper quilt to me.... now I get it! Looks lovely. I‘ve been trying to get into audiobooks when I‘m knitting so I can keep up 😊📚🎧 7y
Schlinkles @Bookish.SAM That‘s a great idea, two birds with one stone. 7y

Thinking about knitting socks.... If you are a knitter, go buy this book. It is my most-used reference book for knitting.

Dolly It is a good one. I have it too. 8y
Mdargusch That's one I don't have. I feel like I always use ravelry and YouTube these days. I haven't looked at a book in years. 8y

I love nights with family, friends and animals, especially when I get to be crafty as well. I'm about halfway done with this oversized scarf. 😁😍

A booster shot of enthusiasm for knitting from an obsessive knitter, this book manages to remain approachable for novices while dispensing advice for all levels. I almost believe socks are possible!

Marchpane You can do it! Socks are just tubes, right? 😁 8y
