I‘m listening to the audiobook (I read this last year) and I‘m at the part where the author describes the end of civilization. This book is about a pandemic flu that kills most of the world, and the people who survive. I don‘t know what I like these kinds of books so much. It‘s like the non-zombie parts of the Walking Dead. What does survival look like? What skills are useful? Maybe I‘m getting ready.
Also, I‘m knitting.

kspenmoll Love the colors in your knitting! 6y
Wbabdullah I‘m getting ready with a lot of dystopian and post-apocalyptic reads, and knitting to make sure I stay “sane”/grounded/comforted/“relaxed”. 🤣 I also love the colors you are using too! Please post a photo of your finished piece when you‘re done! 6y

SandyW I too love the dystopian/post-apocalyptic genre minus zombies. There are already over 1 million dead in the first chapter of the book I'm currently reading, 6y
SheilaChew @kspenmoll @Wbabdullah Thanks! The pattern is the Coffee Shop Wrap - it‘s a big triangle scarf. 6y
SheilaChew @SandyW I have that book on my list! I‘ll be watching for your review when you finish! 🤓 6y
Wbabdullah Thank you! I‘ll check out that pattern!! 6y
kspenmoll Thanks-just might inspire me to bring my needles out... 6y
FlowerFairy Knitting is not a hobby. It‘s a post-apocalyptic life skill 😉 6y
SheilaChew @FlowerFairy So true! 😍 6y
FlowerFairy Okay, so I‘ve been looking at your shawl somewhat obsessively. LoL I have some mandala cakes I would like to use to knit a shawl for a friend. And your photo has me wanting to knit the Coffee Shop pattern which I have had for some time but not used. Are you using a self striping yarn and are you making the eyelet rows right after a color change? 6y
SheilaChew @FlowerFairy I used a self striping yarn, but I did cut some of the colors shorter to make uneven stripes. I just put the eyelet row when it looks like the color is going to change. It is pretty easy to do and I only cut a few places so not too many ends to weave in. 6y
SheilaChew @FlowerFairy This yarn is Caron Cakes in Cake Pop. Also I‘m on Ravelry as SheilaChew 6y
Sapphire Your knitting is gorgeous. I just started crocheting again, but my knowledge and skills are very basic. 6y

Amazing. Dana, a black woman living in the 1980s, gets pulled back in time to pre-Civil War Maryland to save the white boy who turns out to be her ancestor. Time travel mixed with slave narrative. Violent, tender, complicated, and heartbreaking. I loved it.

Pictured with latest knitting project - a hat for my daughter with my favorites yarn, Malabrigo. #knittersoflitsy

bookishkai Malabrigo is the best. So soft and smooshy. 7y
Lacythebookworm Love the yarn! 😍 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I finished that book recently too! So very good!! Glad you enjoyed it too. 7y
Dolly Pretty, and a multi ply too. I forgot Malabrigo has yarn other than singles. #knittersoflitsy ❤️ 7y

Knitting & reading - my favorite things.
The only thing I don't like about Kate Morton is that her stories are so good that I don't want to do anything else!

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled LOVE me some Kate Morton! I haven't read all her books because I think Im trying to savor each one and spread them out. 7y

I just started this book - trying not to be bogged down by the names, hoping the story picks up. I'm about to finish knitting this baby hat.

Beginnings & endings.

lisakoby Nice knitting! 👌 7y
