Exactly! 👏🏻

In the days following the end of my treatment, I've been feeling a bit more lost than relieved. I'll need time to figure it all out but I'm so glad I started knitting, it beats doomscrolling a thousand times over! 🎀🧶

It's great, it dives straight into the story so I'm hooked immediately!

Kindred by Octavia Butler

Good morning all, I started Octavia Butler's Kindred last night, am flying through it. So far, so incredible! 📚

Haha, love it!

Bloody budgets, such ruiners!!! But it's so much fun, enjoy ☺️

Thanks so much, great tips ! I have my notebook & highlighters beside me alright but the stitch markers are a good idea too. I'm taking it real slowly but I'm in no rush either so I don't mind. Tongue has been sticking out the whole time too with the serious concentration face! 😂

Aww thanks, I'm glad I went for it!

Thanks to so many encouraging replies yesterday I decided to just dive in and experiment with cables for first time!
A bit awkward and fiddly but very satisfying. 🤭🧶
Thanks all!

Introducing Mrs Collins by Rachel Parris.

I really enjoyed listening to this. A look at life from Charlotte's point of view after she marries Mr.Collins. It's like a behind the scenes version of events, and we get lots more of some of the more minor P&P characters. Fun and sweet with a few interesting origin stories!

@a-guy-on-here-too.bsky.social check out the top! 😲

Haha, I'll keep you posted ! 🤣🧣

I love the encouragement, since I posted this, I've jumped right into cables! 😂🙏🏻

We certainly do, every day is a school day!

True, every mistake is a lesson!

Thanks so much for the encouragement and you are right, it's not the end of the world if I make mistakes etc, I'm having a great time regardless! 🙏🏻🧶

I'm getting obsessed with downloading knitting patterns that I've no business looking at until I'm mastered a lot more basic skills. But still, it's v exciting to think that I will eventually be able to make actual real clothes! Until then, I'll keep on practicing! 🧶❤️🙏🏻 #Knitsky #Knitting

Yes , I'm really looking forward to getting started. 🐄🐖🐕

He hasn't a fucking clue what he's doing.

Thank you CMAT, all 100% true. It's depressing that this needs to be explained and repeated again and again. Everything is politics, including art, music, sport etc. ✊🏻

Yes , I felt I was missing out on so many gorgeous patterns! 😻🧶

Yay, thanks. I had been terrified to try them but I can see how great they are now! 🤭

Thanks for the advice, I'll look them up! 🙏🏻

I'm really enjoying the circulars! 😻 There are definitely lots of tricks I need to learn but they are so comfortable to hold! #knitting #knitsky 🧶
