Post a picture that should be an album cover

Two cats sat on a windowsill. In the foreground is a black and white tuxedo cat looking straight at the camera. Behind him and to the right is a grey and white tuxedo cat looking out of the window. There are raindrops on the windowpane.

Here is a picture of my mushroom squad as it currently stands 🍄🍄‍🟫

A row of crocheted mushrooms sat atop a radiator. They are different shapes and sizes, and all of them have different caps in different colours. There are tall pointy ones and crooked wizardy ones and wavy edged ones and rounded ones. They all have eyes and they are all looking at you.

Please, my cat, he is very cute.

A black and white cat lying on his back, legs akimbo.

A black cat stretched out on a lap. He looks blissfully happy. He is radiating heat.

@bootsmcgoot.bsky.social this little lad has expressed a wish to see more of the world, so he will be winging his way to you as soon as I get my arse in gear 😅

Final tally: a squid and 1.5 mushrooms.

A crocheted squid in shades of red and orange, a crocheted mushroom with a green pointy cap, and a crocheted mushroom body with no cap yet.

I’ve always loved the bit about kingons and queons , it makes a disturbing amount of sense to my brain.

A quote from Mort by Terry Pratchett. It reads "The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed."

Also ordered a bunch more yarn because I need more mushrooms in my life.

A photo of four crocheted mushrooms with white bodies and black eyes. From left to right they have 1) a mottled green sombrero-style cap with ridges around the edge, 2) a dark red cap that comes to a shallow bump in the center with a ruffled edge, 3) a mottled red/yellow hill-shaped cap, 4) a tall blue cap with a twisty point, which looks like a wizard’s hat.

My newest crochet obsession: mushrooms!

A crocheted mushroom with a blur pointy cap. It has two small eyes and is looking at you.

Made a little pixie (pattern; impkins by Crafty Intentions: shop.craftyintentions.com/b/DRQzV )

A small crocheted pixie / imp. The bottom half of his body is yellow, fading to orange at the top. He is wearing a pointed pixie hat in green/blue.

In honour of @ewacat.bsky.social’s birthday here is Bandit meeting the Long Lad

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Apr 28

He’s alive! My Long Leggy Lad is complete!!

A very long crocheted giant millipede. He has 168 legs. His body is striped in pastel rainbow colours and his legs are a deep pinky-red. He is as long as a double bed.

They are a hit

Bandit just turned up to ruin her chill 😅

Here is a sleepy Smokey doing a stretch

The comfiest boy

After seeing @matuzo.at‘s thermal paper camera at State of the Browser I had to get my own, anyway I took it to Hospital Records 30th birthday all-dayer today and got some ridiculously cool pics

A bunch of black and white photos arranged in an irregular grid. They are printed on paper, from a thermal paper instant camera. Most of them are of a gig stage with lights shining out, often illuminating an ‘H’ shape. One of them is of the cluster of buildings at Canary Wharf taken from across the water, and one of them is of Dan (my husband) - a white guy in glasses wearing a t-shirt that says “Dancing to a Modernist Beat”.

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Mar 7

Woohoo!

A photo of a photo, taken on an instant thermal paper camera, of a cat.

#SotB26 update; @letorey.co.uk has broken out his new shoes

A pair of feet clad in red socks and red & white checked shoes with white soles. The shoes have crystals on the red squares. They are very swish.

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Feb 28

A really good point by @kitation.co.uk at #SotB26 that form validation can make forms inaccessible if it’s not thought through - by forcing a phone number field to be a valid phone number, you’re not giving people the option to say “I don’t have a phone / I can’t use a phone / please don’t call me”

A form with two fields; email address and phone number. The user has written “no phone” in the phone field; this has triggered an error because it’s not a valid phone number. The user cannot proceed.

*someone* climbed our apple tree and couldn't get down again

A black and white cat in a tree, looking quite alarmed about the whole thing.

Smokey apparently ran around the vet’s office, refused a treat, and then hid under her blanket to avoid being vaccinated but I think we have been forgiven. (Bandit was so busy eating the treat he didn’t even notice the needle)

A photo of a grey cat with white paws and jowls, lying on my lap, looking grudgingly happy about it.

“I don’t know why you’re all getting excited, nothing’s actually going to happen” Me:

Two panels of a comic by Adam Ellis. One person is holding another person’s lips shut. In the first panel he is saying “shhh”. In the second panel he is saying “let people enjoy things”

I have a hexagon! Not bad for a test run, although it feels like the sort of project that’s going to need proper blocking.

A crocheted hexagon using the ‘brioche crochet’ technique which allows for two types of yarn to be interwoven. It looks like branches and leaves growing out from the center of the hexagon - the ‘background’ is navy blue and the branches are light bluey/green.

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Feb 11

Ah mate. Big hugs. Here is Smokey demanding head scritches.

A photo of a grey and white cat lying on a bed getting her head scratched. She looks very happy.

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Jan 31

These are some pics of the first one I made :)

Fionchadd@fionchadd· Jan 31

@bootsmcgoot.bsky.social i finished the hyperbolic lampshade! The friend it’s for absolutely loves it, which is nice, although I was kind of hoping she’d hate it so I could keep it haha

A photo of a crocheted lampshade. It’s a hyperbolic plane made around a metal circle, in blues and pinks. It coils around itself like waves. It’s for a friend who I met through scuba diving and it’s very evocative of the ocean.

Oh to be a cat with no idea of what’s going on in the world.

A black and white cat stretched out on his back on someone’s lap, with his limbs splayed out. He is fast asleep.

A sleepy looking grey and white cat lying on a bed. I am in the bed, underneath the cat.

Finally framed and hung a bunch of pictures, including my *gorgeous* @thisnorthernboy.bsky.social print
