🧶 pro tip: set your stitch chart as the wallpaper on your phone, so you only have to tap the screen to check your next row instead of fumbling through multiple screens or apps to open it back up again.

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

small joys: I have a sunrise/sunset/length of day app, and at this time of year when the sunrise notification pops up I take great pleasure in squinting at the leaden sky and hissing ‘so where is it then?!’

-5°C as I walk to the train station this morning. I am wearing 5 separate hand-knit items and am cosy as can be. I cannot express how insufferably smug I feel right now. 😂

First knitting finish of 2026! It does need blocking, but my need to be wearing it is greater, so it can wait 🥶🧶

getting back into the swing of #showMeYourKnits with some firsts: my first socks (2008), my first hand-dye job (2009), and my first hand-spun, hand-knit into an object (2012). 🧶

the simulation is running out of names again, caught a radio show earlier referring to ‘Russian author’ Ivan Goncharov as if we don’t all know that name was made up in 1973 for the film 🙄

whenever I think of a project to use up my scraps, I seem to need more yarn to bring it all together and end up with more scraps than I started with. which kind of defeats the object. but these socks are a ‘true’ scraps project, made with the leftovers from five pairs of socks. #showMeYourKnits 🧶

dealt with some more deep stash to make this - ruffle top from Breaking the Pattern by Named Clothing. fabric is miscellaneous quilting cotton that must be at least 15 years old, and the buttons are recycled from an old cardigan 🪡 #sewsky

decided to use up some stash fabric (and probably jinx the weather) by making this unnecessarily summery dress 🪡

for #ShowMeYourKnits garter stitch week, here’s my Waiting for Rain. Short rows with neat little lace panels to break up all that garter. it’s brilliantly wrappable, although sometimes I just knot it around my shoulders and waft around like I’m the ghost of a Victorian washerwoman 👻🧶

according to my records, I am on my 20th cardigan (😅), so here’s my first, my favourite, and my fcurrent fwip for #showMeYourKnits 🧶
I made the leopard print one in 2007. if it were human it would almost be old enough to buy me a drink. terrifying.

hot off the needles, some DK for #showmeyourknits - another shortened and cardiganised Saltburn to match my best beloved yellow one. buttons have been in my stash for 10 years, so I’m glad to finally find a use for them! 🧶
