Welcome to Litsy!

It still needs a thumb and a good blocking, but the right-hand mitten is mostly done!

I‘m 75% through IN THE RUINS, too. This series is so stressful, due in large part to the characters who use their religion as an excuse to treat people abominably, but so good! I‘m excited to finally finish it after years of searching for this penultimate volume, which nobody gives away and the publisher only sells as an overpriced ebook. #audioknitting

The mitten has reached a photographable point. I got past the thumb break while I listened to the tagged book, which is basically a silly Christmas movie. I thought I was in the mood for that vibe, but maybe I‘m not—or maybe I get hung up on the theological implications of all these royal families who represent commercialized holidays with religious roots. Which is maybe silly of ME, but here we are. #audioknitting

I got the first book in this retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon as a Hoopla bonus borrow and liked it so much I figured I‘d finish out the duology right away. It was a really enjoyable way to revisit a story I loved as a kid but have never been able to properly remember.

I knit while I listened, but the mittens aren‘t too impressive yet so please enjoy last night‘s northern lights as a placeholder. #audioknitting

Meh. One of my least favorite of Christie‘s works so far.
Hastings was especially annoying in these stories.
I mostly listened to the audio while knitting Estella, my emotional support chicken, seen here with the paperback, so it was worth it.
I got laid off last month & am having a hard time finding a new job. Thankfully I have books & hobbies to keep me from falling too far into depression. #christiescapers #agathachristieclubr3 #audioknitting

Have finished the main body of the Library Card Vest. Now I'm stuck with the ribbing, which takes ages.

I‘m using up small amounts of yarn to make a cardigan. The design is End Times by Amy Gunderson.

The finished baby blanket. I couldn‘t get it to block as large as I wanted it to with the materials available to me (a stretch frame), but the spirals still stand out better than they did.

Nw, onward through A CHOIR OF LIES. The first Chantiverse novel, A CONSPIRACY OF TRUTHS, had a strong KJ Parker influence, and it‘ll be interesting to see if it carries into this one. Rowland‘s more recent books have rather different vibes. #audioknitting

I still have to sew all the ends in and block the thing, but here‘s a preview of the hexagonal spirals blanket I made for my cousin‘s baby.

I get to do this tedious work while I listen to MADENSKY SQUARE, my last unread adult Eva Ibbotson novel! I‘m so, so glad my library finally subscribed to the bookish bits of Hoopla so I can experience it at long last. It‘s amazing so far. Ibbotson had such love for people, and for Vienna. #audioknitting

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.

Bit hit and miss. I liked the one by Olivia Dade, "All by my Elf," best.

All in all five?️? #audiobook snacks perfect for some #audioknitting.
