The news coming out of the US just gets grimmer and grimmer. I am seriously unimpressed (though I hear Moscow is thrilled…)

Ok, so, I’ve made a discovery.
Power washing the Queen of Hearts croquet area in VR whilst listening to Sia blast in my ears whilst I do it is -zen-as-fuckado-.
Seriously.
Cancel your thearpist, get yourself some VR goggles and get to power washing whilst jamming. Totally an epic brain zen moment

My charger makes faces at me and I love it very much. The top lifts and holds my phone and my buds charge on it behind the phone.
So that's it. That's the update. My charger makes faces.

I effin LOVE Venice.
Can I have that? Or do I need to submit a requeset for all of Italy? I mean I like other places in Italy, and I’d sure enjoy it… but I don’t wanna be greedy. I just really want Venice.

I did knit with them a bit and they knit like a dream. All the smoothness of a metal needle but with just enough (it truly is minute) ‘grip’ that your yarn isn’t sliding off all over the place. They have managed to give the best of both worlds with it. Magical! Knitting with them is a dream.

The cords are covered and very smooth. They are stainless steel and hands down the nicest cords I’ve ever seen. They use a key to tighten like knitpro but are not compatible with the knitpro stable of brands. The end stoppers are metal also. There are 4 cords - 24 to 40 inch. Smooth joins.

There are 10 pairs of needles - US 2 to US 10 (UK 2.75mm to UK 6.0 mm) - and yes, the ever elusive ‘3’ is present.
The needles themselves are metal with a lovely long graduating sharp (but blunted at the very tip) gold tip. They are 6 inches long and I -love- this length. It’s perfection.

🧵2- as you can see from the first post, the packaging was just right. It came from the US to the UK in perfect condition. The box is sturdy! Gold Tip clearly take their shipping seriously. Now on to the inside - The case for the needles is real leather and the zipper is smooth.

1 - Ok knitters! The long awaited (my fault for ordering them during the Christmas rush from America!) needle set has arrived!
I’ve had a good play with them, and I can tell you they are everything I’ve ever wanted in a circular set. So this is gonna be a 🧵 with pictures.
Drum roll…🥁 Gold Tip.

For those of you waiting, I’m right there with you. I guess this is what I get for ordering something from America during the holiday season. It was meant to take 3 days but it has been stuck on “where expecting it” for the last leg with Royal mail.
It’s not the sender’s fault. That was on time.

Just a heads up for those of you (like myself) are memebers of Democrats Abroad. The council meeting is on the 19th. If you’re not a member and you’d like to be, the sign up is simple, as is joining a caucus. You’ll still be in time to get the zoom links for the meeting.

Happy thanksgiving/friendsgiving to those of you who are celebrating tomorrow. Save some cranberry sauce for me. Also, if your cranberry sauce doesn’t have can ripples and cannot be sliced, it doesn’t count.

Backside of a super cozy chunky cardi I’m making. Yarn is We Are Knitters ‘The Wool’ handpainted sprinkles. The sleeves will be overblown balloon and snuggle length. The cardi is a ‘destroyed’ pattern meaning I’m creating a bit of damage as I go. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitsky

In settings you can select to require alt that way you never forget to do it. I was always forgetting so flipping that setting on was deffo a good move.

Alt is important folks. And, if you’re like me and prone to forget, in your settings you can tick a box to make it a requirement before you share a picture. That way you never forget.
