CraftLit - Serialized Classic Literature for Busy Book Lovers

Well, here we are! I wanted to welcome you all to CraftLit, a Podcast for Crafters. I imagine you're here because you like to work with your hands, but you also like to read. If so, this is the place for you! Our program will follow a similar pattern every week. After some introductory comments, a web, magazine, or book review (This week Mason-Dixon Knittng), and perhaps a song, I will include a chapter or two from a book. We will listen to that book until we're done with it. And because I'm a former English teacher, I'll give you some things to listen for in the chapters we hear--just to give you something else to do while you're knitting, spinning, crocheting, weaving, or sewing. Any painters? So. Get comfortable. Find your tools. Check the volume, and enjoy, with me, the beginning (chs 1–4) of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, recorded by Annie Coleman. Intro music: "Chasing Hiro by Joshua Christian of Syracuse, NY. I found the music on GarageBand.com.

Welcome to a world of corsets, courtship, and sparkling wit! For our very first book, we're diving into the delightful universe of Jane Austen's timeless masterpiece – Pride and Prejudice! We'll be exploring Regency-era England, where matchmaking mamas rule the social scene, and a well-timed ballroom dance can change your fate. And speaking of balls, I promise we'll have our own virtual ball – no worries, no dance skills required! So, buckle up, because it's time to venture into the world of grand estates, romantic misadventures, and a whole lot of delightful drama. Whether you're a die-hard Austen fan or a first-time reader, get ready to fall head over heels for Pride and Prejudice all over again!
