I've now started on a new jumper to use up some TradeMe polyester that is hideous to work with, and some mohair bits and bobs (although the yellow is alpaca but I can spare a few grams). Doing a big knit-to-destash atm for bulk yarn I got and making small dents.

A photograph of a top-down baby jumper, still on the needles. It has white yarn with multi coloured bobbles being held together with a red, or blue, or yellow fluffy yarn so that there's stripes.

Finished my first ever colourwork jumper - size 0-6 months. Tension looks pretty good pre-blocking but remembered as I was weaving in the ends that the grey is superwash 😫🫣

A photograph of a light grey speckled jumper, with ribbed cuffs, hem, and neck, with a geometric pattern in black and brown around the yoke (neck and shoulders).

The same jumper but inside out. The colourwork is very tidy.

Our banana palm cost us about $30~ We've already had about 20kg of bananas and there's another whole stalk on there now. Easily made our $30 back and some (and no carbon miles in these ones either).

I love our social club so much - we had such a fantastic session (Merata Mita is SO GOOD) and great discussion after 🔥 💚

A large room which has three rows of chairs in front of a large TV screen. The room is filled with people, snacks, and is dimly lit.

A close up of the screen between heads, that's showing a protest banner that says "Ka whawhai tonu matao! Ake! Ake! Ake!"

I end up reading a lot of Western Australia legislation and planning documents for work, and stumbled across this today. Why yes, it is from 2006.

5.4 Planning for liveable neighbourhoods The Commission’s Liveable Neighbourhoods policy intends that the neighbourhood should be the basic building block for urban development with interconnected and integrated neighbourhoods clustered into well defined towns and communities. New urban areas will be comprehensively planned as sustainable communities which provide local facilities, services, public transport and job opportunities within easy reach by walking or cycling, reducing dependence on the private car for travel.

Trains. Literally if I could go back a hundred years I could get a train to Taumarunui, Paeroa, New Plymouth...

Something something, Green Party candidate, something something cooking with gas...

Gluten free hotpot for lunch because mum's never had hotpot before, doubling as checking our emergency gas cooker still works (childhood relic) 🍲🥬🍄‍🟫

Been a very hard couple of weeks and had a period of bed rest in there too (don't have a chronic illness, team) - but kept the hands busy with a few stash busters 🧦 ✨

And it has! So happy with how it turned out. Took forever and a day but excited to now post it off to it's recipient 🍅

And now the magic of blocking will solve all my tension problems... 🫣 🧶

And then I also generated a QR code for our petition and chucked that up on an A2 sheet so people could scan it super easily and it worked wonders until I got some tape stuck on one and it ripped the words off it - but that's why you print three so you can fuck up one and still have two to go! 💚

And such a huge turnout!

Some of my favourite signs from today 🏳️‍⚧️💪🌈

"queer joy not culture wars" "let us pee in peace" "sick of all this fascist bullshit" "protecting women? How about pay equality?"

And it's not an event without at least one photo of me doing goblin hands or with my eyes shut! Tick both of those off the bingo card tonight.

I know I've been battling fatigue when it takes me three weeks to knit a hat - but this one does also involve duplicate stitch, which I haven't done before. For my father in law, who runs a Heritage Food Crops Research Trust (and grows a lot of orange and yellow tomatoes) 🍅

Feeling a bit down about the world? Go hear some of our rangatahi speak because they aren't mucking around. So much love for the students who are telling this govt exactly how they feel 💚✊

My choices from home are: Continental rich brown gravy that has a best before from 2024 Or St Hubert poutine sauce which has a best before from 2025 🤔🤔

I love having disposable income again and making very serious investment decisions 🐓🐧🦆🦚

One of my favourite traditions for our pub quizzes is having a silly prize for last place. One year it was a 10kg pumpkin. This time it's 700ml of plum jam. Often people want the last place prize more than the bar tab for first place!

A selfie of Louise holding a jar of jam - it's in a tall and thin pasta sauce jar with a hand written label that says "PLUM JAM" on it. It's bigger than their head.

[pls read the whole post before replying] Anyone else with a disability who uses a posture support (maybe EDS friends?) have a recommendation for something discrete and with smooth lines? I use a Posture Medic and it's bright green and bulky and honestly hideous.

Then just added in a bunch of cute little details like: ✨ Ticket booth 🚲 Bike hire (which you can actually do at the gardens!) 🍕 Gourmet in the gardens food stalls 🍦 And the hidden ice cream parlour (the Hamilton Gardens sells the most rolled ice cream in the country!)

Screenshot of Louise's character standing next to two green and white striped booths, and a sign that says TICKETS. There is white string lighting in the background, just like the real Hamilton Gardens.

I didn't know if I could do the surrealist garden but I think it works pretty well! 😎
