Mid-year reading review.
Here are all the books I've read and the granny squares I've crocheted from January through the end of June. If I keep up the same-ish pace, this will be half the blanket.

The Power of Knitting: Stitching Together Our Lives in a Fractured World | Loretta Napoleoni

pick

Loved Every Stitch 😏
This was my first introduction to the idea of craftivism! I love it. This was a fun journey through the history of knitting, with a little crochet thrown in at the end. There were bits that were also memoir of the author that really enriched the whole book. My favorite part was the part toward the end about the knitting and crocheting brain.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics My only complaint is that I wish it had been longer. I needed more yarn craft love! Absolutely worth the read. #knitting #crochet #crochetersoflitsy #knittersoflitsy #craftersoflitsy #yarnarts 3w

The Power of Knitting: Stitching Together Our Lives in a Fractured World | Loretta Napoleoni

This book has caused me to take out my knitting needles after 3 years… it is not going well. I‘m not exactly back at square one, but oh boy do I have issues with my stitches being WAY too tight again. I also ended up picking up a stitch somewhere at one point, then later dropping two, so it‘s been a wild ride today. Maybe I shall forever be a crocheter. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AnnCrystal 😜😂🤪 Knitting drives me looney...I vote for crochet 😉👌🏼🧶🧵💝. 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I‘m definitely better at crochet. I‘ve also heard that you can crochet faster than you can knit. Dunno if that‘s actually true or not… for some reason, I feel like I‘ve failed at knitting somehow. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m a bleeding perfectionist. 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I also tend to drop and pick up stitched while crocheting, too. I‘m not sure what my problem is, but my stitches never look as clean and obvious as pictures and videos online. 3w

AnnCrystal Crocheting feels faster, and my work are not perfect with, but I 'm cool with that. For me, enjoying the craft is most important, and perfection is completely accidental 😂😉👌🏼💝💝💝. 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal totally fair. I found something online that might help with my tension issues and help me relax my hands a bit. I‘m also very excited to try some knee yarn that doesn‘t unravel as you use it, so I can practice with it. 3w

AnnCrystal That's neat, hadn't tried that yarn. I do need to work on loosening my tension too.

I picked up a packet of Clover Weaving Sticks some time ago, but they seem intimidating. Have you tried these? 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal weaving sticks? I‘m intrigued 3w

AnnCrystal @GingerAntics there are thick (jumbo) and thin (fine) options. If you try them, let me know. I haven't made a real effort to learn how to use these 👀☺️👍🏼💝. They say it's like having a loom in your pocket. 3w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal I can‘t said what I was expecting, but I know it wasn‘t this. https://youtube.com/shorts/niUM0g0y-_Q?si=Fjh7VbiaPjs6tvsY 2w

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🤩 @GingerAntics Thank You for sharing, that is an excellent video you found. I need to give this a try, but the simplicity of crocheting has me spoiled 😂👍🏼🧶🧵🧶💝. (edited) 2w

GingerAntics @AnnCrystal oh yeah. There is something about the simplicity of it that makes it relaxing. 2w

AnnCrystal @GingerAntics truth 👏🏼😉👍🏼💝💝💝. 2w

The Man in the Brown Suit | Agatha Christie

I‘m very behind in my reading this month. So, in addition to my physical book, I did a little #audioknitting tonight. This is from a mystery gnome knit along #MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. Perfect for one of the Queen of Mystery‘s books.
My Professor is pretty cute.
I‘m enjoying this Christie so far.
