I am a mercurial faerie queen with a heart of gold, no respect for capitalism, a good eye for colour, and a large vocabulary. I write, sing, write songs, play the wire strung harp, knit, read, and do my best. Sometimes I like to paint stuff on my face.

Yr occasional photo dump of stuff I made.

Taranis is a 22-string harp with a full, dark sound. He was made by William MacDonald in 2016 from wind-felled oak in the Isle of Skye. He is the only harp of his kind, and I’m so happy he is coming home with me to Scotland.

A harp made of dark wood with 22 brass strings and a head in the shape of a bird.

Completed yellow & green tweedy sox, plus finished mending heels on rainbow sox yesterday! Because I always have to have Sox on the go, I started the Knitty Peerie Plaid Sox yesterday since I now seem to be obsessed with small slip stitch colour patterns. The wool for the new ones is Drops Fabel.

Two pairs of socks! One is a green and yellow tweed, and the other is a rainbow stripe with newly mended grey heels.

New socks on the go! A brown heather is paired with a green-to-rose long stripe, positioned over an apple Magic Keyboard.

Crows Before Bros!

Four crows are pictured in different poses on a white background. the effect is of a block printing. There is a geometrical border consisting on triangles bordered by angular lines, and the white background includes various depictions of flowers.

Been busy with the pins again— and it’s cat approved!

Collage comprised of four images, all of an asymmetrical shawl in ombré autumn colours: 1 shows off the lace and bead detail; 2 shows approximate size (almost as long as a double bed, but in a crafty L shape); 3 is for the texture ppl who want to see stitch relief; and 4 includes two cats, one void, and one tabby Maine Coon.

Detail of the bottom edge of the Annie shawl (another great vintage Knitty pattern) that I’m making for a friend.

Against a black keyboard, two repeats of chevron lace in deep green, lighter green, and dark yellow are presented on a circular needle cable. Two brass stitch markers are visible.

Tonight’s paint for Wicked in the cinema! #makeup #facepaint #faceart

Me, a fat middle aged lady, wearing a back blouse with flowers on. On my left cheek is painted a black witches hat and there are brown and green vines around the edges of my hairline and bounding my jawline.

Example: here is a pair of socks made from another Schoppel-Wolle type, a “crazy zauberball”.

Shawl in progress for my lovely friend Claire, who is not a social network kind of person. Schoppel-Wolle Zauber Flower in Belladonna; 8/0 glass beads; ChaiaoGoo 4mm circular needle. Pattern is from Knitty, Charmaine. knitty.com/ISSUEss18/PA...

A knitted shawl in progress made from merino wool that softly graduated from purple to green to orange. Gold beads adorn the lace on the edge.
