Welcome to Litsy!

Cross-stitch and crochet. They both require counting. Not sure what it is about counting, but somehow it calms me. I count a lot when I‘m stressed.

Yes, there are books. About 20 years ago, when Millennials rediscovered and revived the yarn arts (yes, I give them full credit), the tagged book was popular.

The #FictionalTraveler prompt for July is #Water . Hopefully our reading will bring some refreshing fictional escapism for those of us who have been dealing with oppressive heat. 🥵💦💧💦

What will everyone be reading?

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Jenny Colgan‘s books often miss the mark with me, but I enjoyed this one. I‘m a big knitter too and like Gertie I also knit to relax and stay calm. Fun characters in a beautiful setting. Though I agree with others that the cover is oddly misleading.

Look at this gorgeous at and scarf Amy made for me for #cbbc!!! i cannot tell you how much i absolutely love it!!! Thank you so much Amy- you are talented! I am so lucky to have you sending to me this round 💛

I LOVE Jenny Colgan! I laugh and cry and smile my whole way through every book she writes. This one is no exception. I dream about going back to Scotland too

#hyggehour is starting early and now I‘m matching my toes to my next book

Reading and crochet update. Here are my books and granny squares from January to May.
They need to be blocked, and then I'll start joining them all together.

Well, at least the #BookspinGods gave me one book that was already on my June TBR. 😂 I didn‘t have any Greater Charlotte Bookcrawl purchases on said TBR, but I have several that are super short, so I should be able to squeeze one of those in. #bookspin
