Another successful Sunday spree at brilliant Bramley Market! Not me racing to Barry Zee's stall the second we get there, lol. If I don't get my sorrel and ginger once a month, I will cry
I just finished the cardi I've made for my nib's 18th birthday present, and it is SO beautiful, and I am SO proud of it, and I am SO terrified of putting it in a parcel and sending it to her in Spain 😬 I MADE BUTTONS
(this is my plan for redoing our living room, to give you an idea of what it looks like)
You get that terracotta sculpture of Polyphemus? Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked
Nothing that Boots does makes my heart melt more, than when she curls up against me and goes to sleep 🥹
Almost finished knitting this cardi for my nib's 18th birthday present. She picked the design, yarn and colour (which is much more deep raspberry irl)
Another fabulous trip to Bramley Market! Sourdough, pains suisses, ube marshmallows, pickled onions, fancy cheeses and omg Barry Zee's drinks (sorrel & ginger is the most incredible thing)
Space is infinite Therefore the potential growth of Space Raiders is infinite This is a legitimate IQ test
Stockinette version done and ooooh, I like it. I knitted it at a looser gauge for drape, and calculated the short rows for the mitre using my stitch/row ratio. I crocheted a dc border around the whole piece to minimise curling. I think this is a decent proof of concept!
I finished my Doctor-sized "20 minute blouse" prototype, and I'm pleasantly surprised! It makes me think of Jenna Stannis and I am *not* mad about it. Did it in garter stitch, coz mitring garter is trivial, but now I want to have a go at a stockinette version
Before the Skrulls, before the Death Star, here's Ben Mendelsohn taking Kylie to a fancy dress party 😁
Had a gruelling dentist appt and Dave told me to treat myself afterwards, but the shops were uninspiring. Got these tiny tubs for a quid and a bottle of Don Simpson, does that count?
One of our Stitch Club gang is going home to France next month (she's here on foreign study year), so we're giving her a little surprise send-off tonight. I made a card. It's a little chaotic, but I love it
