A Kiwi searching for a hot coffee in London. Doomed, in other words
For this week's #showmeyourknits I've chosen the Rose Window beret that I made for my MIL's birthday this year. I'm not really one for hats or I'd make one for myself too!

For this week's #showmeyourknits I have absolutely nothing in white but I do have this lovely Vertical Rib sweater. The bright yarn is from Sealy Macwheely's Kickstarter 6/7 years ago. She's a lovely Scottish yarn dyer and spinner!

My two-tone Fluffy Ass Brioche Cardigan is coming along rather nicely. A perfect squishy cardigan for winter 😍

Not to self: never look at a pension statement when you've only been contributing for a year 🙈 (only because I haven't transferred over the one from my previous job 😂)

I've done a fair bit of train knitting in my time but this is my first go at bus knitting. Lucky to grab that front seat spot!

Somehow our corner of the table at knitting group ended up being the winging it corner. Not a pattern in sight! And somehow this is turning out how I pictured it in my head

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Scientists claim they’ve made ‘pivotal step’ in bringing back the dodo for first time in 300 years
Thousands of dodos could return within a decade according to Colossal Biosciences, a ‘de-extinction’ company – but experts warn of ‘moral hazard’
