Apart from wall-to-wall Spotify or Planet Rock, my best listening during 2018 has been this:
Favourite guitar player plus brilliant singer plus damn good songs; Living the Dream has it all...

My best nine posts on Instagram this year are mainly knitting. No surprise there then.
From left to right, top row: Outlander shawl knitted several years ago and finally blocked, new design Colifichet, new design Wrap of Ages. Middle row: garter stitch wrap using oddments of sock yarn held double, Outlander blocking, Wrap of Ages pattern shot. Bottom row: Frankensocks, no-knead wholemeal bread straight out of the oven, new design Random Precision, large size.

I listened to a lot of audiobooks this year, partly because I've been busy doing hours and hours of sample knitting for new designs.
My audiobooks of the year are Chris Ould's Faroes Trilogy, The Blood Strand, The Killing Bay and The Fire Pit. Matt Addis gets a special mention for his superb narration.
My top two fiction choices are William Shaw's Salt Lane and John Harvey's Body & Soul - both excellent reads.
Non-fiction best-of-the-year are The Spy and the Traitor, Ben Macintyre, and Viking Britain, Thomas Williams.
