PuddleJumper Looks great! 1d

Amiable I‘d love to do something like this but my phobia of snakes recoils from the idea. 😬😀 1d

MaleficentBookDragon @Amiable 😹 I actually could never make a bookWORM because they gross me out so much. I‘d rather a snake any day. Crazy 🤪 right? 1d

Amiable @MaleficentBookDragon We all have our own phobias! 😄 1d

While I've collected most of my books due to loving history and information, I must admit, there's several I've gotten due to nostalgia.

Kitta Oh yay! That‘s great I‘ll save it to my ravelry. 6mo

Kitta Is the magic loop method hard? I usually use dpns but I don‘t have the right size right now. 6mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I cannot used DPNs. I am not coordinated enough. I used to do magic loop but I tended to get laddering. I found a great alternative. I use FlexiFlips. They are the best of both. I use them for all small circumference knitting. https://youtu.be/IgzMgqT-2Qs 6mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon oooh I‘ll check those out! 6mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta they are not cheap but I love them. I‘ve also used HiyaHiya Flyers. The metal ones are SHARP, if you like sharper tips. If you get them let me know if you like them. They were a game changer for me. 6mo

CatLass007 A friend of mine uses circular needles for everything. No DPNs, no regular knitting needles, whatever those are called. Just the circular ones. Which I have a hard time remembering not to say the round ones. 6mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon I wonder if they come in bamboo too or would that be too flexible a material? I prefer bamboo needles generally and a blunter tip lol. My old dpns are wood but I stepped on two and broke them! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon I just checked and addi makes bamboo ones! Edit: So does Hiyahiya! (edited) 6mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta oh yes. I have both. Addi will be a bit blunter. It seems Hiya Hiya likes really sharp tips. I hope you like them.🤞 6mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon the only sharp tips I have are my Chiaogoos and they‘re metal, which I found I didn‘t like. So slippery for what I was doing. So maybe I‘ll like sharp tips if they‘re bamboo? I‘m not sure. I‘ll probably try the addi ones first. 6mo

I also updated my world map for the end of the year. These are all the countries I‘ve visited through books in 2024. I‘m trying to get better at geography - hopefully I‘ve colored all the correct places! 😅

So I‘ve been keeping a log of what I have read since 1986. Just dates, titles , authors. No reviews , just noting rereads. What a long strange trip it‘s been.

tpixie That‘s awesome 🤩 8mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 8mo

AmyG I have a list since 5/10/74. Isn‘t it wild when you go back to read it….see what you were reading back in the day? 8mo

Suet624 I was just updating my latest journal. Nothing glamorous but packed full of quotes since at least 2002. I moved so much before that time that I think I‘ve lost my earliest ones from the 70s. It‘s a treasure to have them. 8mo

AnnCrystal That's awesome, just began mine in 2023. 📚📔💝. 8mo

Hooked_on_books Mine goes back to the 80s as well, but I don‘t know the date, as I initially didn‘t track that. For years I had a 3 ring binder and loose leaf, as I tracked by author‘s last name and that way I could add pages wherever needed. I would take it with me to the used bookstore to make sure I didn‘t buy any I‘d already read. 😉 8mo

sisilia Wow this is wonderful 😍 8mo

Leftcoastzen @Suet624 I wish I had earlier ones , I used to think I would always remember! ha ha ha! 8mo

Leftcoastzen @AmyG wow ! I had better taste back then I think. I shunned popular stuff . 8mo

Leftcoastzen @Hooked_on_books good old system. I‘m keeping it up despite computerized ways to keep track. 8mo

AmyG Ha! I have better taste now. I read alot of garbage. 🤣 8mo
