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.

I like to watch movies when I spin or knit. It helps to make me look up from staring at one fixed place for hours. I also listen to audiobooks or podcasts, but I really like those better when I’m moving around a bit more. I used to read more than I do now. My eyes are cranky enough these days that it’s harder than I wish it was to find a setup & the right glasses to change fine focus to reading.

I started listening to audiobooks years ago to keep that part of my brain amused while listening. I often listen to things multiple times.

Eclectic listening tastes. Repeat faves include Pride and Prejudice (read by Rosamund Pike); Kaiju Preservation Society (read by Wil Wheaton); and Discovery of Witches. Recent listens include How to American, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Book Lovers, and Crocodile on the Sandbank

Today’s prompt is - what do you watch or listen to while you’re making?

At the minute, I’m doing 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!)

I need to keep my eyes on my work and/or pattern, so it's or more rarely all the way for me.

Current favourites are Ambridge on the Couch, Big Cat Conversations, Dark Poutine, Red Handed.

day 6

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.

All kinds of things! The TAZ podcast, various books and other stories, often movies and shows. We watched Spiderverse while knitting the little pocket for our wheelchair.

While sewing, I listen to podcasts ( usually on CBC Listen). While I'm knitting I stream British mystery shows. One does need to remember to stop knitting for a few minutes during the climax, or one will need to tink (unknit) back and do that bit over again.

It's at - 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.

I need something to listen to while I'm sewing, although I seem to be needing more silence than I used to.

I don't think I have a preference of audio books vs tv/movies, but the vibe has to be just right. I tend to prefer scifi shows. Can't depend too heavily on action. Music is often a key factor.

Shows I have liked in the past: The Expanse, Dark Matter, Firefly, Altered Carbon, Julie and the Phantoms, Heartstopper.

Go listen to Fake Dates and Mooncakes!

I don't usually watch or listen to things while crocheting, because I make too many errors. Sometimes if my husband is watching TV or listening to a podcast I'll sit with him, but I can't really pay attention to both the work and the show.

Day 6 of is
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.

I love some good background noise whole knitting. Andrea Mowry was my first love. I've just started watching Laura Penrose.

If not that, then an audiobook or an e-book reading on my knee.

It's at , which is all about what you watch, listen to or read while doing fibre-y stuff.

For me, it's music. Always music. I tend to fire up my music player and let shuffle do its thing, so I get a never-ending eclectic mix of all the music I've collected over the past 30+ years. I like the randomness, and sometimes there's some wonderful little sequences or segues that are accidentally perfect.

It mostly depends on the craft, whether I'm watching or listening

is a watching kind of craft - whatever I'm in the mood for - series (I love British crimes shows), documentaries, movies.

depends on the complexity of the stitch, either watching (see above) or listening - mostly podcasts of all kinds, no audio books.

- mostly listening, plying is more watching

# weaving - definitely listening only, and easy stuff at that.
