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.

Rebecca the #booksnake is sporting 10 stripes now (I actually frogged her and started her body over and am much happier). This is everything I read in January.

TiredLibrarian What a great idea! 5mo

maich I love it😍 5mo

TheAromaofBooks Sooo adorable!! So are you changing colors based on genre, or based on how much you liked the book, or some other parameter? 5mo

MaleficentBookDragon @TheAromaofBooks I‘m changing colors by genre. I have a key that I made to go by. This photo is not great color-wise because thrillers are actually a dark teal while mysteries are a forest green. I do have a fun sparkly yarn that I‘ll add to any 5 ⭐️ books,but I haven‘t read any yet this year. 5mo

Meshell1313 Soo cool! Love it! 😍 5mo

Zuhkeeyah I found a crochet pattern (because I don't know how to knit) and I plan to make a book snake as well! Rebecca has inspired me. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks SO fun!!! 5mo

janeycanuck So fun! I started singing “Rebecca the book snake has ten stripes, Rebecca the book snake has ten stripes, Rebecca the book snake has ten stripes so go Rebecca go!” to the tune of Alice the Camel. I need less sugar, I think 5mo

lil1inblue What a lovely idea! 😍 5mo

CatLass007 I don‘t knit but I have friends who read and knit with whom I will share the link. 5mo

Kitta Oh yay! That‘s great I‘ll save it to my ravelry. 5mo

Kitta Is the magic loop method hard? I usually use dpns but I don‘t have the right size right now. 5mo

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 5mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon oooh I‘ll check those out! 5mo

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. 5mo

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. 5mo

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon I just checked and addi makes bamboo ones! Edit: So does Hiyahiya! (edited) 5mo

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.🤞 5mo

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. 4mo

pick

My January 2025 #Bookspin and #Doublespin wintery picks are done and dusted.
Both were solid reads that made the cold and snow characters in the stories.
Neither knocked my socks off but I enjoyed reading both.
The tagged book was a #netgalley arc, so thanks to them for giving me a copy of the book for an honest review.
That‘s 2 more stripes on Rebecca my knitted #ReadingSnake (horror and thriller) #knittersoflitsy #litsycrafters

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fabulous progress both reading and knitting!! I love the idea of a reading snake!! 5mo

Kitta I love Rebecca the reading snake!! I want to make one sometime. How many books are you planning on reading? Did you follow a pattern for her head? (edited) 5mo

Chelsea.Poole This is great! 5mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I usually read between 52-63 books a year. I used a pattern for her head called Sweet Little Snake. It‘s free on Ravelry and I modified it to use DK weight yard to make her a little bigger. My inspiration is this woman‘s snake (she will be coming out with a pattern soon). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4JSt_VvWUv/?igsh=ZTZja3FkZGZoZm1r 5mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage thanks. I like her too. I made mistakes on her head but it‘s good enough for me. Maybe the stitches will smooth out if I steam block her. I was too impatient to block her, wait to dry , and then start the stripes. 5mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage She looks great to me :) 🐍 Gives her character 5mo

Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon amazing thanks! I‘ll look up the pattern. I feel think this would be more manageable than the reading tracking blankets I‘ve seen. I read around a book a week and was curious at how many rows per book you were doing. 5mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I‘m doing 5 rows for each book and 2 rows of the body color in between them. 5mo

so-so

So with my January #doublespin finished, Rebecca gets her second stripe of the year.
(adding a tongue makes her look a little less goose-like to me😊)
#knittersoflitsy #booksnake #litsycrafters

CatLass007 Booksnake? Love it! I don‘t knit. I tried but I had so many crochet projects going that I never had time to practice knitting. Where on earth did you find the pattern? I definitely think the addition of a tongue was the right choice. 6mo

so-so

This was okay; not as funny as the first one for me.

And meet Rebeca, the Literary Danger Noodle, with her first book stripe of the year.

And yes, I do see now that she looks a little like a goose from the side. 😔

#booksnake #knittersoflitsy #litsycrafters

Larkken 😍 I almost started making one of these book snakes too but did a pivot to a dif craft. I can‘t wait to see your dangernoodle progress 6mo

Bookwormjillk That‘s awesome 👏 6mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Butterfinger these are the genre colors for my snake (though it‘s early enough that I‘m still tweaking them; I‘m never satisfied with my crafts and art.🙈) 6mo

Butterfinger I love it. And, you are knitting in the round. Just love it. 6mo
