Well done, sky 👏
A beautiful sunrise in the North East of England, with deep oranges and yellows, and gentle pinks in the clouds with some light blue sky peeking through.

Text reads: ‘let me get this straight depression/anxiety/adhd/chronic illness will make me not have the energy to take care of myself, but the only way for me to feel better is to take care of myself? What a scam’. Dear reader: it is a total scam 🫠

It’s been a hot minute since I worked on this WIP! 😃

🧶 is aqua blue Merino/Mohair brushed fingering singles held double with charcoal grey Mohair (both dyed by me), pattern is Ranunculus by Midori Hirose 🩵

📺 Alien: Romulus (dead excited for the upcoming Alien series 🥹)

Tracey is holding a jumper WIP on circular needles in her left hand, index finger held out continental style. The needles are pink, and there’s a bauble stitch marker filled with blue glitter hanging off a cat head shaped ring on the left needle. The jumper is being knitted in hand dyed yarn held double - one strand of aqua blue fingering weight Merino/Mohair brushed singles, and one strand of charcoal grey lace Mohair/Silk, creating a mottled effect (is mottled the right word? I dunno but it’ll suffice! 🥰). There’s a mix of lace pattern and stockinette in the knitted fabric. Underneath the WIP is Tracey’s recently finished Habitation Throw, which is knitted in brightly coloured stripes using scraps of DK. A close up of the jumper being knitted in hand dyed yarn held double, showing some cosy fuzzy halo - one strand of aqua blue fingering weight Merino/Mohair brushed singles, and one strand of charcoal grey lace Mohair/Silk, creating a mottled effect.

I finished my first ever blanket last night… 🥹 To clarify, that’s not the first ever blanket I’ve _started_ in my 25 years of crafting (cries in ADHD 😭🫠), but it’s the first one I’ve ever finished 😃

Habitation Throw knitted on 5.5mm needles with DK scraps, all in my own hand dyed yarn 🧶

A close up of a cosy knitted blanket, riotous in colour. There are thin stripes of various different bright colourways, in no order whatsoever, reflecting the chaotic neon brain I have inside my head 🌈

New scrappy hat cast on! 🧶 I gifted myself one of my Mix Up Bags of 4ply/sock and mohair, and have no idea what this will end up looking like by the end, I do not have much of a colour placement plan 😅🌈 Embracing the weird in this one 🥰

Tracey is holding some knitting on circular needles in her left hand - the colours are marled together, moving from blues and pinks into pink and yellow, then yellow and black, then black and coral pink.

I started a Sockhead Hat at lunchtime, and I’m already five inches in 🥹 I’m not a particularly quick knitter so this is a top effort! I even managed to watch some Hellbound - with subtitles - while knitting the rib, which I think I deserve a prize for 😅 I’ve never purled without looking before 🤭
My left hand is holding a hat on circular needles, knitted in variegated neon hand dyed yarn in blue, purple, pink, and green.
