Beautiful shawls intertwined with touching stories. The afghans shawl is so artful.
I did the same thing while working on my first knitting project a decades ago. I find a sanctuary in knitting and audiobooks. The perfect combo feels like a mental curtain…
My interests have evolved over time. I listened to the Wall Street Journal while working on my first knitting project. Now, I'm into audiobooks about nature, culture, and history on Audible. Some favorites from the last six months include "The Secret Lives of Color" by Kassia St Clair, "The Fabric of Civilization" by Virginia Postrel, and "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. On Spotify, I enjoy podcasts like "The Rest is History" by Goalhanger and "Profile" by BBC Radio 4.
That’s evolving for me as well; I’ve largely been a fiction fan, with lots of mysteries and magical realism mostly in audiobooks. For print books (or ebooks) I’ve been drawn to nonfiction lately; I lean toward reading rather than listening to them, because I frequently want to highlight or research information in the book as I read, and that’s not easy for me in audio format. One that I enjoyed recently is “Quiet” by Susan Cain. I’m on a David Sedaris binge on Audible right now. :)
The afghan is beautiful. I am not much of a fan of knitted items (and allergic to wool) but appreciate the magic you have found in your knitting and the blessings you have bestowed with your crafts

It does, doesn't it? Did you have a favorite genre or author or narrator that you listened to?
