Ahoy folks! I'm working on my first Kickstarter campaign. It's for the audiobook version of LITANY FOR A BROKEN WORLD. Any veteran KS folks out there willing to give me some feedback on what I have so far?? LMK and I'll toss you the link.

Today is my father's birthday. He was born in 1923 & died in 2015. I still miss him terribly. He was a sonar operator in WWII. The first time he'd been out of NY was to go to sonar school in Dundee, Scotland. He was a kind & wise man, a feminist before the word was coined. Raised 2 confident daughters. A supporter of civil rights & unions, he would have been appalled by our current state of the world. He didn't dodge UBoats to see Nazis rise to positions of power.

This is just a reminder that I'm a human writing human stories for human readers.
There's no room or place or desire for AI/LLM tools in my creative process.
I hire humans who use their skills to edit & create cover art.
Since 2002, I've written nearly 2 million words. No LLM prompts. Just my weird brain & even weirder subconscious.
I have 9 novels for sale. (Soon to be 10.) All of which is my soul whispering its truth to yours.

@abetterjulie thank you! It may be a little short, which means I'll need to thread in a lifeline, cut off the ribbing, and remake it longer. (It was made bottom up, so no easy way to add more.)

@Cofycat33 i was super nervous, but it ended up being easier then fixing mistakes in seed stitch since the cables are all knit stitches. I have to confess i did look at the messed up portion of the cable & consider leaving it. No one would notice, right??!!

I am a knitting goddess!
I was knitting away on the sleeve of this cardigan when I noticed I'd made mistake on the cable, 3 'twists' back. Frogging 15 rows was not my idea of a good time, so I undid just the cable, put the stitches on a spare dpn & corrected the twists all the way up.
This is my first big cable project & the first time I tried fixing one
Go me!

OMG!! I am at Boskone, a scifi/fantasy convention in Boston. Wearing my Doctor Who inspired sweater that I designed & knitted (as one does).
2 ppl sitting nearby admired the sweater. I made the appropriate answer: "thank you, I made it myself."
1 of the pair asked me if I'd heard of Barbara Walker.
Yes, I said, she is one of my knitting heroes.
He smiles & says "She was my mother."
Cue muppet flailing & embarrassing fangirl squealing.

How delightful to find myself in the dealers room next to @swachter at Boskone!
And how lucky to find myself in need of a new knitting project bag at the same time!
New bag.
Happy knitter.
Excellent craftsmanship, wonderful design. So. Many. Pockets.
