@ambientdread @bookstodon @bookstodon Especially when you hear 'so long and thanks for the fish...'

@bookstodon @bookstodon “A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”

@Alphawolf @bookstodon @bookstodon Perfect! Great way to show it's a trilogy in 4 parts

Look what I got!!!
I was April's prize winner for the #flmalclub2024. Along with the May colour (in the gorgeous mug) I got two skiens that will co-ordinate with those in the club as well as the mug.
You can see my April square in the 2nd pic. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/
The pattern - https://berroco.com/patterns/norahs-vintage-afghan

Finished the April's square in the Makealong blanket. Colour is part of the Seascape series hand-dyed by https://fiberlily.com.au/product/make-along-club/
Made a couple from hand-dyed yarn I already had as the club is only yarn for 12 blocks but I'm making the entire 20 from the pattern - https://berroco.com/patterns/norahs-vintage-afghan

5 x 30cm squares. Each square is different styles of intricately linked cables. Colours - various shades of dark greens and deep grey.

@KarenStrickholm @knitting
Can't take credit for most of the colours - the dyer has chosen 12 of them. I'm just going for complementary ones for the remaining 8.

@energisch_ @KarenStrickholm @knitting
They'll get a light wash when I block each one.
I've only used hand-dyes mfor the past 4 years and bever had a problem - only wash in cold water (& I often use the machine...lol).

Book 5 of my Silk Rope Masters series is finally finished, I've edited the heck out of it. I can do no more. With nervous anticipation I've sent the MS and the synopsis off to my publisher. Now comes the haunting of my email box for the next three months 👻 ...lol

@ixtlidekami @bookstodon @bookstodon Thank you 😊

SuzyShearer, 4 months ago to Creativity

Finally getting back to writing Book 5 of The Silk Rope Masters. It's slowly coming together - all those green lines mean I'm happy with the chapter for the time being.
I had hoped it would have been completed by now but Cancer stuffed up my progress. I'm still trying to get used to the many side effects from radiation and drug therapy.

Yes, I have oodles of knitting WIPs but as usual I started something else. 😂
I thought I'd experiment with lace on a pair of socks. Did 2 lines of diamond lattice on the front of the sock from toe to cuff.

@Sarah @knitting I love knitting socks, think this year so far I've made 27 pairs. The family are sick of getting socks...lol.

SuzyShearer, 7 months ago

@SusanHR @knitting Love it!
I think I need it before it's too late 😂

SuzyShearer, 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to knitting

Socktober is finished. Please with my effort - 9 pairs of sockies...😊
