Codebreakers have infiltrated the public imagination of wartime efforts - but what about code-makers?

katy4peas Historian and knitter Kristen Howard will explore the role knitting played in wartime codes and correspondence, from providing a cover for women spies in WWII to the use of knitting to disguise or amplify messages. 3y
julesG Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I'm tagging @LitsyEvents - please spread the word. 3y

Romance with impulsive TSTL heroine and grumpy cowboy. Loved the yarn content (apart from the jab at crocheters). Baffled by reviews elsewhere complaining it's too steamy - it's not fade-to-black, but the sex scenes are brief and largely described with metaphors. Did they expect zero sex just because there's a knitter involved? Haaaave they met knitters?

I love a handicraft novel. This one has a little extra charm. All the required trappings, HEA, wish fulfillment, steamy love scenes, etc, but it‘s not a vanilla, sanitary story, which can often be the case with craft related stories. Newsflash: knitters/quilters/etc aren‘t all elderly & many of us make questionable choices & say fuck, shit & damn. 🤷🏻‍♀️🖤 This author gets it. Get print or ebook. The audiobook narrator ruins it completely imho

Thanks to @BookaholicNatty for the post re: Literary Yarns. I submit this for the #Knitters amongst us. Great fun. You can even knit a Moosehead for the wall. #MakerSwap

CaitlinR @craftyfox The patterns are well written and easy to follow. 😀 6y

Okay don‘t judge me. I found this on audio through my library and I‘ve been listening to it since last night while I finish knitting a pair of socks. I don‘t know what it is about it, but I am really enjoying it. Am I lame? Yeah. That‘s okay. It‘s been a long day, and sadly another death in the family has occurred. My heart hurts so very much.

My favorite thing so far about Squirrel Girl so far is her roommate.
