The Big Four (Poirot) | Agatha Christie

Mehso-so

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

AmyG Your chicken is 🙌🏻❤️ 3w

Ruthiella Good luck with the job search! Love the picture - perfect color combination . 👌 2w
Tamra I love your support chicken - she‘s gorgeous! 2w
Bette Estella is wonderful! So well done. Best of luck. 🤞 2w
RamsFan1963 I know that feeling. I got laid off back in December, and only started working again in April. It seems bad now, but some times a fresh start is the best thing possible. Good Luck 🍀 2w
Yuki_Onna Emotional support chicken! 😂👏 I didn't know this was a thing. Now I need one! 🐓 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Yuki_Onna they were trending in the knitting and crochet communities awhile back. It looked too difficult to do to me so I let my kit just sit for almost 2 years. It really wasn‘t as hard as I expected. Mistakes WERE made, but that just adds to her charm. 2w
TheBookHippie Love the chicken!!! 2w
Yuki_Onna She really is charming! 2w
Bookzombie I love your chicken! I hope you find a great job soon. 💕 2w

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.

Suet624 Holy cow! That‘s so impressive! 2mo
Lindy @Suet624 It‘s fun to make, with a modular construction method. You pick up stitches from the previous part each time you add a new square, and weave the ends in as you go. 2mo
Leftcoastzen So beautiful! 2mo

A Choir of Lies | Alexandra Rowland
post image

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

Madensky Square | Eva Ibbotson
post image

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

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.

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.

Another book I have to thank/blame @RaeLovesToRead for introducing me to.
Rae, you mentioned it one evening over mead and bramble whisky. You mentioned another book, but that one I can't remember. We were talking about heist books similar to Locke Lamora.

Found the #audiobook and have just picked up this #audioknitting project out of my UFO basket. It'll either be leg warmers or socks when done. #LitsyCrafters

TheBookHippie I like the colors. 10mo
quietlycuriouskate Ooh, your yarn thingummy: what sort of size can it hold? I'm looking to put something like this on my Christmas list 🙂. (I mostly use 100g balls of DK weight.) 10mo
AnnCrystal 🤩👍💝. 10mo

julesG @quietlycuriouskate That would definitely fit. The base is 12cm wide and the "thorn" is 18cm high. I've managed to get a 1500m 4-ply yarn cake onto it which might have had 20cm in diametre. 10mo
julesG @quietlycuriouskate also, no idea what the thingummy is called. Literal translation from German would be "yarn unwinder" but it sounds weird 10mo
dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 10mo
RaeLovesToRead THANK! The word is thank! 😘 10mo

Some #audioknitting while working on Steven West‘s Botanic Shawl last night; with Asuka‘s “help”. She kept chewing on the grey yarn.🧶 🐈

Current #audiobook read for some #audioknitting, her feline highness, #GhostCat, has decreed it so. Or in other words, I sat down for a minute and she took advantage.
