About an inch of knitting in 90 minutes, I won't win prizes for speed or accuracy, but this is only my third ever pair of socks so I'm pleased so far, and I do love this colour #knitsky

Right, tasks done, went into town to have a pint at the pub and check that humans still exist, and now home and it's time to rewatch Stranger Things S4 and eat cheese! #food

Me: thrilled to actually be asked something about work *expands at some length, over a few messages*

It's a while since I posted any spinning, so here we are! This is a ply-up of lots of ends I had on various spindles and I'm really quite pleased with it. #yarnsky #dropspindlespinning #spinsky

Calling anyone who can read shorthand! I would very much love to know what this method for my grandmother's "Uncooked Chocolate Cake" is! Guessing it's from the 1950s if that helps. (please feel free to share if your network might know shorthand <3)

Not quite, here at least, like the separate algorithm-based feeds, so I have these ones - I often browse about to see a slightly wider circle of things, or if I really want to bluesky and everyone is asleep!

It is November, it is suddenly cold, actually cold, and dank as heck, so Sunday night tea can only be baked beans with cheese and Marmite, consumed wrapped in blankets #food

IOs were sharing '90s photos of themselves as young(er) Suede fanns, and I dug this one out which I think is not at all reflective of my general look that decade, but it amuses me, so take it as my entry for whichever nostalgic post-a-picture-of... we were doing here last, this is 1996

There is so much to be said about All's Fair on D+ most of which I will leave to people paid to comment on tv, but I must highlight Kim Kardashian in what started as a great waistcoat look, and then, and then she stood up...

Screenshot of the content, because it's a sign-up mailing list (I like them, they talk to interesting people, but we all need to do some wtf at Zohran's specific love for this Arsenal shirt which I remember considering as a work outfit at one point)

Finally finished up the Jacob's fleece sample I've been spinning - this was a lovely test for me, chunkier than I'd usually spin and I would love to work with more! Wonder what to do with it... #yarnsky #knitsky #dropspinning #spinsky

After a little sulky chat with myself, and some very warm and practiced encouragement from P, I took myself off for a run (repeating C25k), and it does help that some of the possible views are this beautiful. #morningwalk

Picked up the sock knitting for the first time in about six weeks... I want to get good enough at this to eventually knit with my handspun... #knitsky

So here's the Jacob's I'd prepped so far spun up (3 eps of Alien Earth) - tried to let it be a thicker gauge than I usually spin, but kept forgetting. It's not the most even but it has a lovely halo. Going to prep some more now...
