In this episode I chat about a new QAL project that I’m excited to announce, knitting frustrations, book and show recommendations, and trying to get the plastic out of my grocery shopping.

Thanks for a fun listen! Looking forward to your hand quilting sew along in January.
Awesome! It will be so fun! Thanks for listening. 🙂
Have you tried using the app called Libby? I switched to Libby from Overdrive (because yeah, the interface in Overdrive is truly terrible) and I love it because it’s easy to use, and I could add two of my library cards to different city libraries (I live in Vaasa in Finland, and I can now read books etc from the libraries in Turku and Helsink, which are more than 400 km from Vaasa) and changing between them just takes a click in the right hand menu.
Have a nice day! And I thought podcast nr 15 was a good one 🙂
Yes Libby is the way to go. I love it because you can see all your loans audio and ebooks in one place. It has improved a lot since the app launched.
Love your website and podcast by the way!
Thanks! I will go check out Libby right now! And thanks for the kind words on the podcast 🙂
I have not tried Libby–I will go look for it immediately! Thanks so much!
I’m glad you enjoyed the podcast 🙂
Love your podcast! It’s like you KNOW me! I enjoyed The House on Willow Street, based on your recommendation, and I just got two more of her books at the library. The wool pressing mat is now on my Amazon wish list, and I bought the leaf paper-piecing pattern. Not sure I’m up for a hand-sewing QAL, but maybe! Have a great trip to Norway!
Great episode! I’m in Canada, so we have some different shows on Netflix. I looked for Poldark but we don’t have it. Too bad, as I do like period pieces. I have watched Call the Midwife, and loved it. We have Season 8 here already. I think it’s the last season-it seemed to wrap up the show really well in the last episode.
I love Rosamunde Pilcher too. I’ve read all her books, and one written by her son. It wasn’t bad -kind of the same style. I forget his first name, but his last is Pilcher too.
I’m following your trip on Instagram. It sounds wonderful.
