Here's another one for #showmeyourknits cable week. I used to wear a lot of shoes with an open instep and the position of the cable motif was really cute with that. Not my style anymore these days but I still love these socks.

Throwback to these cute two colour cable socks... 😍 I knitted three of them because one got lost on public transport. Yeah, don't ask 🤣 I also published the pattern before I had even knitted the 2nd one. Pure anarchy here 🤪

Btw if you're leaving #sewing Facebook and Instagram behind, consider checking out Textillia. It is an independent platform that was started in 2015 and modelled on the super successful knitting and fibre crafts platform Ravelry. Unfortunately Textillia never really took off, because

Just learned that #showmeyourknits is a thing here. I knitted a lot between 2009 and 2019 and was very involved in the community with designing and teaching. Then I basically stopped, and it is super interesting to me which items have remained wardrobe favourites, for example this one.

What Tacitus thinks about Cicero's speeches: they are too long-winded, clumsy, and "Nihil excerpere, nihil referre possis" - which is basically the ancient version of "not re-tweet material" 🤣

The electrician who is currently working in my apartment is non stop talking to himself. Like, verbalising all his tasks and thought processes. It is kinda weird but also cute.
