I don't need a book to keep track of my crochet projects as I only complete 3 or 4 a year.. lol!

I listen to quite a lot of audiobooks, but I had a hard time adjusting to them at first. I had to figure out what types of books I liked listening to vs. reading. It turns out I enjoy listening to mysteries/crime stories on audio, and I also enjoy classics. (I have no idea why, but that's how it worked out for me.) I hope you like the yogajellies!

I did crochet a little bit yesterday and it didn't hurt at all. I think it's the knitting motion that's aggravating it so I'll stay away from that for awhile.<br />My Knitting project book was almost full after this year so I ordered a new one from Amazon that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I would also like to put a small photo in the book. I've never done that before but put most of the other details you mention in it.<br />Take care and I hope you get some sunshine soon. We had some on Sunday for a couple of hours and it makes a huge difference in the attitude doesn't it?<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-55780428230828455252021-01-05T11:51:58.746-05:002021-01-05T11:51:58.746-05:00My favorite podcast is "Smartless" with ...My favorite podcast is "Smartless" with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. It can be a little raunchy but I always laugh a lot while listening to it. For audio books, I've been listening to ones that are 'performed' with multiple actors rather than one person reading. There is a set of Jane Austen books narrated by Emma Thompson with great actors.

It would drive me crazy, I have to admit. I'd struggle to make them mean/stand for something.<br /><br />I can't listen to audiobooks, either. I have to read, period. Podcasts annoy me when there is extraneous chatter that seems inane.

Bonny gave me some great advise for audio books, as I struggled for a long time, too. She recommended listening to someone familiar telling their own story... I started with Anthony Bourdain's and Rosanne Cash's memoirs. Once I wasn't so focused on "the voice," I could enjoy the story. There are some voices that I just cannot listen to, but, for the most part, I really enjoy audio books now!Vicki Knitorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342431774644974327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-39208002818499764142021-01-05T09:20:37.533-05:002021-01-05T09:20:37.533-05:00I've missed TNT and enjoyed seeing your sample...I've missed TNT and enjoyed seeing your sampler once again. I will second Sarah's recommendations for Hidden Brain and Radiolab, and also add The Moth (short stories) and In the Bubble (covid-related, but from a scientific point of view).

I am going to be doing that as well this year (no more Ravelry for me since now most designer's have other ways of purchasing patterns) I love the idea of writing notes about a project! I know you like poetry, I have found some lovely (and short) poetry podcasts: Poetry Unbound, The Slow Down, The Writer's Almanac. I also loved John Meacham's It Was Said (they are about 30 minutes long). <br /><br />Your stitching just is so beautiful! I wish I could do that but my eyesight is just not good enough to see anymore.
