Spinning Me 'Right Round:
- Podcasts : Tea & Possibilities video podcast; A Wee Bit Knitty is back. Pink Hair Girl & Daughter back too - now in England; Lore audio podcast (non-knitting and kinda scary!)
- Arisen, audio books 1-3. Set in a post-apocalyptic zombie world.
- 'My Brilliant Friend' audio book for book club. I couldn't finish it - seems you either agree with the hype or just don't get it and I am in the latter camp
- Duolingo on iPhone for Japanese practice
- International Knitting in Public Day - 10 June. I am organising a meet-up, likely in the Leederville area. Come and chat in the Ravelry thread if you're interested in attending.
