Kept this up for the entire year but I underestimated how big the booksnake would be. Has to be nearly 3 metres

I second this - Booksnake is amazing. It's a fantastic example of the truly amazing outcomes from @neh-odh.bsky.social grants.

As a result of working on my booksnake, I am more aware of when I cluster books of my comfort genres. I was liking the more random patterning and I don't want too many big chunks so I had to force myself to make other choices. It's going to be an interesting result regardless

Making a start on this booksnake whose stripes will record the books I read during 2025. I never fancied the temperature blankets but this is a knitting data visualisation I am very into 🐍🧶
A pile of balls of yarn of different colours, lying among them is the knitted head pf the booksnake done in a dark grey/black yarn with neon flecks. It has huge, slightly daft looking safety eyes, one with a glittery green iris and the other with a glittery pink iris (my daughter chose the eye colours). It looks a bit like Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon Key to the booksnake, written on cardboard with holes punched down one side and the relevant colour of yarn threaded through it: Red - politics Orange - nonfiction Bright yellow - history Dark yellow - poetry Green - sci fi Royal blue - read with young team Tweed blue - fiction (translated) Purple - crime Tweed pink - fiction (in English) A side bar gives info that the number of rows correspond to the number of pages in the book: <200 = 2 rows, <300 = 3 rows and so on. The cardboard has a couple of stripy cartoon snakes draw around the place.

Trying this #booksnake for 2025 - unfortunately I am bad at crocheting because I’m more of an “eyeball it” girl than a “count your stitches” girl ✨

Booksnake progress.
I held the yarn together with gold thread if I particularly enjoyed the book. Jan golden books:
Louise Erdrich - The Sentence
Noah Angell - Ghosts of the British Museum
Tan Twan Eng - House of Doors
Kevin Barry - The Heart in Winter
Emeric Pressburger - The Glass Pearls
Knitted colourful striped snake coiled up in a spiral. It has big friendly safety eyes and a red forked tongue and is sitting on a maroon flowery bedsheet. Booksnake stretched out straight. It has stripes of various colours representing different genres of book. Eg a series of purple rings are where I read 1-4 of Mick Herron’s Slow Horses series

My knitted book socks are finished!

This year I was inspired to combine my love of reading and knitting into a longer project, the 2025 book socks inspired by bookaroundfindout's booksnake. I wanted to track my reading by knitting stripes in some socks!

#knitsky #knitting #booksky
A photo collage of a pair of hand knitted socks, in painted textures sock pattern, one coloured stripe representing each book read. The yarn is all from Big Fox Yarn, the main colour is Kuaneos and I have three colours corresponding to my some of my favourite book genre’s, which I decided to group as follows: Costas hummingbird (dark pink) – Fantasy Pink Robin (Pink) – Science fiction Flamingo (Coral) – Non-fiction, myths and legends and poetry There are also images of each of the following books January reads: 1. The City of Last Chances - Fantasy 2. Moonlight Market - Fantasy February reads: 1. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - Science Fiction 2. The fire Next time - James Baldwin - Non fiction 3. Shades in Shadow - Fantasy 4. The City in Glass - Myths and legends 3. The city and it's Uncertain walls - Literature/Fiction 4. White nights - Literature/Fiction 5. The Empress of Salt and Fortunate - Fantasy

I just discovered an error in Cuthbert...a book that somehow I didn't get on my list so it didn't get knit. And of course it's about 10+ books back that I need to undo! 🫣😩

I did some tinking (iykyk) I HATED the light pink and ended up switching it out for a varigated color. I also went through WAAAY too much effort for one book that was equally history and science. Usually I can decide which genre it fits better if it has multiple labels. Not here #booksky #booksnake

Digitization captures how an object looks, not how it behaves. Booksnake is computational virtual media remediation. We ask, for each historical media form (map, newspaper, codex): What does this object do that its digital image cannot? The tools we build are the arguments. Learn more: booksnake.app

My January reading wrap-up from @thestorygraph.com. This means I'm already 8 stripes behind on my #BookSnake 😂
#BookSky #TheStoryGraph 📚💙
My stats from The Storygraph, showing that I have read 8 books, 1,873 pages, I've listened for 31.03 hours and given an average reading of 3.84 stars. My 3 highest rated reads are Trust Me When I Lie, A Burning, and The Night We Lost Him. The covers of these three books are shown. A pie chart shows I have only read fiction, and the majority of my reads are audio and digital, followed by print.

Check out Cuthbert! The speed of his growth is due to audiobooks, but I am able to engage with a wider variety of content this way. I bet that all my nonfiction will be audio! Not loving the color of the latest stripe but I was determined to use yarn from around the house. #booksky #booksnake

Booksnake is an argument dressed as software. A critique of image viewers that display everything at arbitrary scale. Our goal: connect the scale of the encounter with the scale of the archive. Read more in Digital Humanities Quarterly 19.1 (Winter 2025): dhq.digitalhumanities.org/vol/19/1/000...

Reading a mystery, listening to a mystery. I guess I know what color my next stripe will be. Well... not the very next as I have some catching up to do- but Cuthbert is looking fine.
