@picksuppennies Pretty much.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@myfriendamy This is a marketing phrase to reserve for winter, maybe?

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@skrishna @BethFishReads @NerdyPam @alanawhitman @trishheylady @MichelleRin @SuziQoregon @TriniCapini @aKatrinaSchu @capriciousreadr @LitHousewife @justaddbooks Yes!

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@BethFishReads @skrishna @NerdyPam @alanawhitman @trishheylady @MichelleRin @SuziQoregon All the above plus @TriniCapini , @aKatrinaSchu -- maybe I'll be back with more later.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@JentoInfinity Whoa. Goals.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@BethFishReads @skrishna @NerdyPam @alanawhitman @trishheylady @MichelleRin @SuziQoregon I know there are quilters I'm missing. And then there are fiber people who also post about their reading -- do they count?

11 hours to spin 50g of wool. Slow fashion.

[Cora Harrington @CoraCHarrington]

Then they had to spin all this wool into thread. And no spinning wheels! The technology of the time was a drop spindle. They gathered 10 expert hand spinners and asked them to time themselves. It took 11 hours to spin 50 grams (about 1.75 oz). For all that wool, that's 544 hours.

@bethrevis @whtabtpineapple Psalm for the Wild-built and the follow up!

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@NerdyPam I don't have diabetes, but seeing how I react to various things sounds exciting to me.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@aKatrinaSchu Doesn't seem normal to me.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

I have been bemoaning the impending demise of Twitter for months, but I haven't had the energy to try any of the supposed replacements. But yesterday I tried Threads, and it is currently fun, which seems promising.

It feels like Twitter of old.

Same handle.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

Just heard about @Apollo_Neuro; anyone used it, or looked into it?

Thinking especially about my @michelleerin and @heyletsmakestuf ...

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@cefryber I'm pondering spinning a whole pound on my spindle, and knit it up before year's end, but the main thing holding me back is, I'm scared I won't come close.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@cefryber Yeah, I've been using my spindle daily for several weeks now, and I don't remember exactly how much I've spun in that time, but it's well less than 8 ounces! My singles sound like they may be finer than yours, but still in the same realm.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@ktb38 I'm excited for it! Although goals, hrm. I cast on a sweater yesterday instead of carding stuff to spin. 😂

STARGAZING is a gift-style book that introduces stargazing as a way to practice mindfulness. It’s packed with science too!!

It’s out in August, and I appreciate any preorders:

@NTVsSteveWhite Heh. My follow-up tweet mentions the Playaways. 🤓 I'm not opposed to kindle, but it's not pocket sized, really.

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

Is there such a thing as a pocket-portable device that can get library audiobooks (so, Libby and hoopla) but is not a phone?

[Hannah Nielsen @Wordlily]

@LoreleiKing We're still considering this, but I don't think we can lock it down as much as we'd like.
