#FiberArtCamp #CartoonSaturday Anything Celtic - voice, instrumental, bagpipes, whatever. I think it's an ancestral thing - I'm 60% English, 15% each Irish and Scottish so go figure.
Sometimes Folk Music. But that gets me singing and my family tend to start howling in pain and it upsets my supervisor (Wizard the cat)!We should have a day to showcase our quality inspectors/supervisors.

Today’s #FiberArtCamp prompt is #CartoonSaturday - what do you watch or listen to while you’re making?
I posted this already as a reply to one of my previous Fiber Art Camp convos, but I love watching various #knitting podcasts on YouTube while I knit. They enrich my knowledge by sharing tips while also inspiring me with the things they make. So many patterns are in my queue because I’ve seen how lovely they turn out in these videos.
:vulpix_gift: Here are a few of my faves:
- mel makes stuff: incredibly insightful technical knowledge and ambitious projects
- WOOL NEEDLES HANDS: brilliant and insightful dyer who knows loads about knitting. Maybe the highest production quality of all knitting podcasts.
- Another Knitting Pod: very real, relatable, passionate
- Rachel is Knitting: great vibe, thoughtful
- Danish Musings: calm, intellectual, thoughtful
- Girl Meets Yarn: keeps it real, love her vibe
- Knit and Grace: love her style, shape inclusive
- Youngfolk Knits: charming, love her style -
Today’s #FiberArtCamp prompt is #CartoonSaturday - what do you watch or listen to while you’re making?
At the minute, I’m doing #blackworkembroidery while we have music on shuffle in the background (so far this evening I’ve enjoyed Arch Garrison, Tame Impala and some of the Guilty Pleasures album!), but I often have TV/ streaming on (last week The Peripheral, again)
Sewing usually means BBC Radio 4, often punctuated by YouTube How To videos (especially when I have to thread the overlocker!)

#FiberArtCamp day 6 #CartoonSaturday
When I got into knitting as an adult, I also got into fanfiction at the same time. I used to copy paste chapters of fanfiction into TextEdit and play it using text-to-speech. Later, a friend gave me his old Kindle which had text to speech and I started listening to all kinds of books while doing crafts.
I mostly read speculative fiction, and so whole series are associated with certain projects. For example, I listened to Murderbot and the Vorkasigan saga while making the bulk of this crochet hexagon blanket.

It's #CartoonSaturday at #FiberArtCamp - except I can only work on simple things while I watch TV, and to be honest I'm really not very good at *watching* while I do anything else anyway. So football games and car races are ideal. And of course, spinning with Le Tour.

#CartoonSaturday at #FiberArtCamp!
I watch horror movies. I can tune into my work entirely, then look up at the movie like “zombies still bad? yes? good.” It’s more about having something to look at while I think than anything else. I also borrow lots of audiobooks through my library. If you have a library, I can’t recommend it enough! I own most of the Discworld books in print, but I've been borrowing the audiobooks one by one while I’m #sewing- it’s great!

Day 6 of #FiberArtCamp is #CartoonSaturday
I get through A LOT of TV when I'm quilting. I'll typically decide on a show and just binge through it and move onto another. There are requisites though: it has to be something that doesn't need my constant attention, especially visually, so nothing with subtitles. For my current project I was working through The X-Files, but I've taken a break and trying out Critical Role which has been fun. -

It mostly depends on the craft, whether I'm watching or listening
#knitting is a watching kind of craft - whatever I'm in the mood for - series (I love British crimes shows), documentaries, movies.
#crochet depends on the complexity of the stitch, either watching (see above) or listening, mostly podcasts of all kind, no audio books.
#spinning - mostly listening, plying is more watching
#weaving - definitely listening only, and easy stuff at that.

Most of my crochet is done in the sliver of time between kid’s bedtime and my bedtime. I like to pop on an hour of art or history documentary I’ve seen before and listen to it rather than watch.
But on some evenings I can have a bit more time and luxuriate in having head phones in; noise cancellation on and listen to an entire albums without interruption - last night it was Kate Bush - Lionheart. There’s a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in that one.
