Welcome to Litsy!

I swear, reading a Jenny Colgan novel is a balm to my very soul! I love how her novels, filled with lovely, funny characters and so much heart it could burst, draw me in and make me want to stay in that world forever. I‘m so sad when they‘re over! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

#craftersoflitsy #reboot had to frog down a good six inches! Too many stitch count goofs. Ah well. Take 3.

Excited for my #bookspin. I preordered this on audiobook the second I saw it was coming out! I love Vera. I have no idea what I‘m going to do for The StoryGraph challenge, though. I have 9 countries to choose from. I‘m leaning towards Egypt, though, for Arab American Heritage Month.

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is THIRTEEN! Our official #DoubleSpin number is FOUR!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

This is a first for me of finding out about the Knit for Food knitathon. When the day arrives I plan on making a donation to the Yarn Harbor team. Are there any #litsycrafters who have known about this event before? Or like me just learning about it in 2025?

I don‘t buy many knitting books because my library has a great collection, but they don‘t own this one, it‘s full of intriguing patterns (including leaves!), and it was $1.50 at the thrift store.

I also got cherry turnovers from the grocery store on the way home. Between the dogs‘ morning exercise and my trek to the thrift store, I‘ve done 9km so far today. Pastries are necessary.

Lucy arrives in Oxford for a visit with her beloved grandmother, only to find that the old woman has died and left her knitting shop to her. But Lucy knows nothing about running a business and can‘t knit! Within a few days, she learns that there‘s a vampire knitting club at the shop, her grandmother didn‘t die of natural causes, a family secret, and she‘s now in danger. Really enjoyed this one!

This is my pick for March for #thematiccozies, and I‘m really looking forward to it! 🧶

Getting back into crochet is more Year of Dishcloths than Crochet Magic at this point, but Crochet Taxidermy is the life goal I didn‘t see coming. 😂😂

I'm shocked I haven't heard of this book until now. As a handspinner myself, I was pretty familiar with the subject matter. That said, I still learned a lot along the way. I enjoyed her writing and thoughts and reflections on the industry. And yes, this is just a fraction of my own wool stash. The grey in the middle is jacob wool that is slated to become a sweater. My daughter is going to knit it for me once I'm finished spinning it.
