I like sharing the #books I read here with sometimes a fibre arts question. I'm into #knitting, #crochet, #crossstitch and a bunch of other fiber crafts. The genres I'm into are varied but mostly #fantasy or #sff related. I make it a goal each year to read as diversly as possible, in as many ways as possible.
I was in a good mood and I came across some #lego So today I'm making the orange Chryssamnthemum kit.
I got to help out a friend with an emergency 💪 So great to be able to do that again now that I feel better.
I'm working on this amazing bookmark! I did not have enough shades of purple in stash, so I ordered more. The pattern is Lost Flower Blade by NeedleLotDesign. #crossstich #wip #craft #sword #crossstitch
I had a waiting room fail! I did not bring my knitting project and none of my books were downloaded on my phone (nor did I take my ereader). I'm not used to killing time in public spaces anymore. #knitting #bookstodon #reading
Very sad because the library is closed and my hold came in!
I donated a few of my handknit sweaters to other crafters. They're itchy to me so reclaiming the yarn made no sense. Happy someone else will actutally wear them   (Do need to check gauge more often when I measured them they were not the size they were meant to be) #knitting #donate #crochet #fibrearts

Happy National Library week!

I am going hard on my library usage these days, trying to replace corporate subscriptions with public library resources. My local library system has current music releases on CDs, DVDs of movies I can't find on streaming, a huge selection of audiobooks I'm listening to instead of podcasts. No matter what you're into, there's a good chance your local public library has something for you.

1. I practised my German (by getting stuck in a German mountain rescue doc rabbithole) (Rettung Bergsteiger Hubschrauber)
2. Went for an electric bike ride (fresh air, sunshine)
3. Finished glitter rainbow socks for a friend.

I just got my very first duochrome eyeshadow! This calls for a full face of make up tomorrow :) #duochrome #makeup

My third #TransRightsReadathon book was The Left Hand of Dog, an excellent recommendation from @Knien . It's just the kind of audiobook I like -- lots of distinct voices, and all British as a plus. 😂 The story is good silly fun, full of geeky references -- Spock's brain, I about died! -- but also has a lot of humanity, as femme-agender-asexual-disabled Lem finds herself feeling home at last with the motliest crew of silly aliens imaginable.

I think it might have felt too twee for my tastes in print, but the audio really sells it. First in a series.
