Couldn‘t sleep...so listening to a podcast and allowing my mind to wander while knitting. (Making a short Cowl.) I‘m listening to Martini‘s and Murder....#truecrime #bookaddict #booklover #knittersoflitsy
One thing I love about my Kobo Clara is that I can prop it up and knit while reading. Here's a great quote from Memories of Ice about a group of people switching their loyalties to a new god: “Must be Jhess, then. Mistress of Weavings. They're all taking up knitting, but fiercely--“. It's meant as a joke, but I would pledge loyalty to Jhess, if paying tribute involved knitting fiercely! #knittersoflitsy
A little #audioknitting this cold dreary night.

This shawl doesn‘t look like much after two days and 28 rows. Only 354 more rows to go, plus a wide lace border. A serious drawback to this pattern is that it takes all of my attention and I can‘t listen to an audiobook at the same time. #KnittersofLitsy will understand my biggest challenge, as someone who knits tightly, is an Estonian nupp that requires making 7 in one stitch, then purling all 7 together in the subsequent row. 😰
pickWhat started as a quest to find local wool to knit started Californian Stephany Wilkes on a life-changing path. She documents the many steps along the way from sheep to clothing, most important being the lack of infrastructure. Transformed, Wilkes ends up quitting her job in the tech industry to become a full time shearer. Informative + personal: I recommend this to #knittersofLitsy & anyone curious about where their clothing comes from.
“Vendors apologize for not having much (or any) yarn to sell this year, because it smells too strongly of smoke. I want yarn that smells of smoke. Smoke is our terroir this year, the story and taste of our place…”
The part about the devastating fires in California in 2017 has an emotional impact in the epilogue, after readers have come to know the individual farmers and their flocks of sheep who were in the affected counties. #knittersofLitsy
Working on my first knitting project ( a Halloween colored cowl) while watching Goosebumps 2.

Wanted to knit. Started a pair of leg warmers. Went back to reading and listening to the tagged book.
Started packing a parcel for a friend, made coffee and did some more reading.
Now I'm thinking of either reading some more or winding more yarn cakes, because I am suffering from a serious case of Starteritis (the urge to start a new project, or twenty).
Sometimes all the possibilities are overwhelming. 😜
So happy with how my "Winter is Coming" shawl turned out! I can't wait to give it to my friend and see what she thinks. #knittersoflitsy
