I’m a mild guy…. Anything from mature onwards makes my teeth itch! Sorry…

I’ve finished my West Knits Hiberknitalong and considering I only started on Christmas Day this is speedy for me!

The weekly advent by The Little Grey Girl works perfectly. I love the magic of blocking and seeing how this shawl grew so much to open out the lovely lace pattern. #WestKnits

If you’ve down the Turkish cast on you could absolutely do toe up as that’s a start you could use!

Cuff down for me, rounded toe on DPNs. Even for a beginner DPNs felt more intuitive than magic loop.

What other project types have you made as that might help choose a preference!

💙 Here's my latest Fisherman's Cowl, knit in Opus by Walcot Yarns and Moondrake's exclusive Spincycle colorway. I love how vibrant it is and how beautifully the yarns complement each other! #fishermanscowl #knitting

I’ve become addicted to spinning! I’ve hardly knit all week, I just want to play on my eSpinner… I’ve made 5 mini skeins today!

Week 1 of Spinuary nearly done & I’m so happy with my first attempts at spinning on my Ashford eSpinner 3.

I’ve learnt so much this week & kept a quote from @ggmadeit.bsky.social it in mind “it’s not hard, it’s new” & it sums up my week perfectly - thanks GG for that reminder. #Spinning 🧶

Our favourite TV series is back and I would love to be a Traitor!

So what are you? Faithful? Or Traitor?

Perfect TV knitting with my Stephen West Slipstravaganza cape!

The hats were a hit and all finished in time, although Nephew #1 has reached the “I’ll do things when I’m ready stage” so thanks to my brother for being Noah’s understudy haha

The chunky yarn is by Knotted By Nish and it’s so much fun seeing them light up under the black light.

Didn’t live up to the build up having not seen it before!

I did a risk assessment and went out for a beard trim to support local business - quick 6 minute walk to the barbers!

Can confirm it’s windy out! #Cardiff

The Toft 12 Birds of Christmas is one of my favourite projects to have made!

This was a great 12 month project and I had so much fun making these and learning some new techniques too.

I’m torn between Agnes the Heron and John the Woodpecker as my favourites - do you have a favourite?

Exactly that along with clipping down the hallway in shoes on wooden floors!

Mine left for London at 4:45am, didn’t bring me coffee and managed to wake me up (by generally being nosy pretending to be quiet…)
