I'm still thinking about the recycled sweater dress. I'm wondering about an entralac construction. 🤔 #knitting

As if my triumphs at the gym weren't enough. I'm house for MIL at the moment and was gazing into the garden whilst having post gym breakfast this morning when I saw a fox. It's the first time I've ever seen a real, live fox and he was so handsome. He was super chilled and was just relaxing in the morning sunshine. #joy #nature

@npub1s64…ek5n This is my spinning for tonight. It’s an old bump from Hilltop Cloud and is much last (for now) odd 100g bump. My next spinning will be for a garment. #spinning #handspun #handmade

The other day, I was incredibly fortunate to witness the return of a seasonal visitor to our shores. Whilst it is a little early to catch a glimpse of these shy creatures, its presence does herald warmer weather. They can be identified by their bright plumage and distinctive mating call. As we move into summer, their young become independent, increasing their number before migrating to the southern hemisphere. #wildlife #raresight #summervibes

@npub1nn8…8sed wait ... I can't? It seems I have very much misunderstood "boyfriend jeans".

I have been through Rav and tidied up my queue. I'm now only at 4 pages! And I know what I'm #knitting for the next few projects (after I've spun the yarn). Now to think about my odd 100g's that are in need of dealing with.

2024-02-14 00:48:18

All the paperwork is done so now I get to carry on with this! #crochet

One of the things Husbeast and I talked about over dinners and chess this weekend was #knitting sweaters. After I left uni, I made sweaters and swatches. The swatches were easy because a 3rd party sold them for me but the sweaters were a little trickier. They're original #designs and (I think) well made but being #spoonie meant that selling them and finding retailers was just too much. He's suggested I try again by knitting them on nights. There's a lot to consider but maybe it's a YofS thing.

@npub1zg9…nh26 I recognise the sound of that. I know you know this, but let me say it out loud, your creativity is not frivolous. It helps you relax, connect and reinvigorate. Hell it's practical for clothing and furnishing.

@npub1zg9…nh26 oh wow! I'd always thought the scarcity of teachers might be a barrier to learning. It hadn't occurred to me that it could be done online. (Even though I've learnt languages that way). Maybe I'll do it after all.

@npub1zg9…nh26 I've always wanted to learn the harp but I can't read music and had disastrous piano lessons as a kid so it's unlikely.

@npub16zx…xzxc @npub18lj…80hq I'm guessing that the ship has coils. And they are not aligned. So that needs to be rectified.

@npub1qjr…kgt0 I express love through sarcasm. Sometimes it confuses people. My brother's girlfriend is Italian. We get on very well 😂

@npub1qjr…kgt0 I had a colleague with whom I had a disagreement. He went to the boss who watched the CCTV footage of the incident. There is no sound recorded but because on the footage, I can be seen using my hands and arms to emphasise points and he just stood still and shouted at me, I was deemed to be in the wrong. My body language was perceived to be more aggressive.

THE POCKET IS DONE! THE CARDIGAN IS COMPLETE! (Although it does need to be blocked and buttons sewn on) #knitting #fallfinishalong #nightshift

My day off today has been brutal. It started with me getting a massage and now I’m curled up on the sofa and an apple cake I’ve just removed from the oven is cooling. I will now be working on the Husbeast cardigan. Body and a pocket is done and now I’m working on the collar. #knitting #cake #fallfinishalong

@npub12wk…m98k I've been feeling sad at my lack of progress with my #fallfinishalong projects. Then I realised that it's for a whole season not just a month and now I want to knit all the things. #knitting #autumn

I’ve slept off the worst of my night shift and have been achieving jobs. There a load of washing on and I’ve had a restorative bath. I’ve made some phone calls and rearranged some appointments and it turns out the next few days are entirely my own. I’m curled up in the corner of the sofa and I’m going to tackle the Husbeast cardigan. I’ve got 6 hours until Husbeast gets home from work so that’s my goal. To frog and wind by then. #knitting #frog #naughtycorner

I *think* I have to do 3 more repeats on the cardigan until I have to add sleeves in. If I can knit one tonight, that will be amazing! #knitting #nightshift #wip

2023-08-08 21:11:13

@npub10q3…euew @npub12wk…m98k this is all I have to do tonight (apart from my actual job). Let’s see how far I get! #knitting #cables #nightshift #handspun #knit

@npub12lz…wjtl I’m raising money for an exhibition I want to build. It’s about #mentalhealth focusing on #anxiety and #depression There is more information here https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/finding-calm-in-an-anxious-mind If you are able to donate that would be incredible.
