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

How to Knit a Love Song: A Cypress Hollow Yarn | Rachael Herron

pick

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

How to Knit a Love Song: A Cypress Hollow Yarn | Rachael Herron

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.
