What's on your needles? I'm currently trying to finally use a while bunch of cheap acrylic yarns I've had since my teens (I can't seem to just... Get rid of them). Pattern is Seaglass cardigan by Wool+Pine
A hand knitted cardigan in progress - the body is about 60% done and the sleeves are yet to be started. The cardigan is a technicolour mess of cheap DK acrylic yarns in alternating 1x1 colourwork, worked top down with raglan sleeves. Pattern is seaglass cardigan by Wool+Pine.

I've done a couple of little knits since the jumper, but have just cast on a new Big Shawl to use up some pesky lace weight leftovers that have been in my stash for over a decade. I never really use lace weight and I'm keen for them to end up in something impressive.

Amused to notice that the Martlesham Heath branch of Screwfix has a typo on their receipt & invoice headers

Ok I wore it for a day then unpicked the hem (challenging as I'd woven in the ends really well) then played a game of yarn chicken to add a couple more inches of length to the body. That's better.

I know you've all been anxious for an update. This blue is incredibly yummy. I'll probably be stranded on Sleeve Island just in time for New Year's.

We've separated for sleeves, lads 🎉 time for a million years of stockinette

Update: knitting at my mum's this evening because it's her birthday weekend so I'm visiting for a few days
A piece of hand knitting in progress is shown in the foreground, on the photographer's lap. In the background, a white European lady in her 70s is also knitting, facing away from the camera (she is watching a David Attenborough documentary)

Progress has slowed a bit because it's that time of year where a new video game has consumed all of my free time

She's adamant she saw something in the garden and has summoned the troops to investigate. They're all gullible. This happens approx 678x per day.
Let the dogs out. Let the dogs in. Well, it keeps me busy.

What are your dog's favourite hobbies? Flossy likes to stare out of the window and shout at stuff

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.
a fawn brindle whippet wearing a mustard yellow romper/pyjamas lies on her back in a cave dog bed. Her front paws are t-rexxing, and her back legs are sticking up, pushing against the ceiling of the cave bed.

Please reassure me with anecdotes of complicated garment knits you've more than half completed before falling out of love with them and frogging the lot. RIP, blue jumper, you could have been beautiful

My band mates and I are doing our best out here
A person painted red with devil horns stuck on their head and a hockey style jersey that reads "cheat death". They're grinning to camera and giving a peace V hand sign to camera A collection of people from a band hanging out backstage before a gig. One of them is wearing a white tutu and a blue bob wig, one is in a long green velvet cape and a pointed hat that looks like a mushroom, and the other two are in the background just generally being silly.

Ever wondered what to do with old fabric conference posters (do people still get these)?
I made mine into a handy bag

Whyyyy do people always do this when putting a wristband on you
Just let me put it on myself
The person's wrist with a disposable identification wristband on - the wristband has been put on with the adhesive end misaligned, meaning the adhesive is repeatedly sticking to the wearer's wrist.
