Have so much paperwork stress today, that I have had to skip knitting group. I don't even have a cast-on right now, that's how busy life is! And it's going to be fairly chaotic for the next two weeks, unfortunately. I'm definitely not an aspirational lifestyle vlogger! Whew!

And here is Episode 2! I show off my learning-to-spin progress, knitting progress, and a small pile of yarny gifts and charity shop finds. I learned a lot from episode 1 and hope to continue improving my delivery and presentation a little each episode. #knitting #spinning youtu.be/ZZ1CurczYEg

Great analogy. Saw this on an anxiety page. 🧶 #knit

YAP Session 2 is uploaded to YouTube, Thumbnail done, TIMESTAMPS added, and will release at midday (GMT) today. First Sunday of the month again!

Proof that I won yarn chicken! Now I have to get on with editing my next YAPs YouTube video to put out tomorrow… after lunch. The reveal of the ouside if this #FinishedObject will come later!

Last month I did my first test knit, The Cluaran Sock pattern by Grey Owl Knits. They fit really nicely and I think this is my new favorite heel type. 🧶🧦💜🌿 #testknit #knitsocks #knitsky

I was excited to be sharing an invitation to come along to the V&A on April 9 when I will be talking about artisans of royal wardrobes past who feature in my new book Dressing the Queen. But it sold out already! I’ll pop a link in bio in case of cancellations @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Had a lovely online craft croup session last night and made great knitting progress. The in-person knitting group is having a toastie-tasting day today, so I think what I've gained on the swings I will lose on the tasty, tasty, roundabouts.

This March I’m gonna knit every day to help to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. If you can give towards such an important cause please do so. You can give between episodes of #TOTP if you like ( hint hint) 😉🧶

Combining knitting with my aerial embroidery... I knitted a base, which was then attached and sewn over to create a wild meadow 🌱🌼 the first of hopefully a series of landscape experiments using this method! I wanted to create more variety than my usual cotton bases. Zoom in to see the flowers :)

Here's what I finished today! This project is really coming along so well. My goal is to finish this motif in the next couple of days 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ ☆Pattern is Forests of Sumatra by Ink Circles ☆Thread is single-ply Soie d'Alger silk floss #crossstitch #embroidery

Next episode of YAPs recorded! The area I was sitting in now looks like a whirlwind hit my crafting supplies 😅

Happy Lunar New Year! It is the year of the fire horse and so Gilbert Adrian’s 1945 Roan Stallion dress seems appropriately flame like as it rampages across the surface of black silk @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Went to a workshop to learn quilling - there was only time in 1.5 hours to practice different shapes and techniques, but I can see how this could be a relaxing art form.

To celebrate the Korean New Year's Day, until the 18th. The total is 15 percent, and the type of jeogori inspired by Korean traditions is 20 percent off. Until Feb. 18 (Seoul time, in Ravelry) Please knit with Sedna Knitting even during the fun holidays. www.ravelry.com/designers/se...

I just got finished knitting this custom order in size XL. This one is Stranded Sea Turtle Beanie & the pattern is available on Ravelry & in my Etsy store - or I could knit you one. I really like to have something to do with my hands to distract from the awful news every day. 🧶🐡🦑🐍 #BSNM

Lorelai Wrap is all printed and ready for its debut as an individual pattern at the North West Winter Wool Festival in Blackpool this weekend!

A rare non-yarn meme that I will participate in www.youtube.com/watch?v=m07S...

Ermehgerd - a late gift exchange parcel just arrived from my friends FULL of knitting goodies 🤩💖 It includes 360m of tweedy burnt umber aran - what do I make? I’m thinking leg warmers, a shawl or a cowl atm. I’m due to buy a creamy aran soon and will have spare, so perhaps I could pair them!

Bless! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🧶 #knit #knitsky

Fixed a friend's sweater with needle felting! Visible mending for the win!

Another nervewracking personal first in progress - started on the presentation of my first knitting pattern this morning (the one mentioned in my Vlog). I'm using Affinity free version for laying things out and it's going okay so far!

New sock yarn coming soon… #Knitting

Happy Superb Owl to all who celebrate...

Here it is! My first yarncraft vlog. I learned a lot editing this (it took 4 days) about what to do better next time. I was determined to get this out, rather than waiting for everything to be 'perfect' from the get go and never doing it. So I feel very shy about it 😶 youtu.be/qVxb-A0ZsME?...

The first mitt is done! 🤍🩶💛 The pattern is the Thula mitts by Erica Heusser and is knitted in Big Fox yarn perfect sock. I usually use Lavender essential oil when I block my knits, but for this pair I used Forest Whisper which has hints of rose and vanilla! #knitsky #knitting 💕🧶

I am looking for tester who will test my new pattern the "Johanna Slipover". Interested? Please apply here? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #testknitting #knitting #stricken #knitsky 🧶

Thumbnail done! One hour until the release. Feeling a little nervous about putting myself out there, even though it should be a nice quirt 'launch'.

Volunteering at a crafting space means I can do my knitting- I just have to be careful not to confuse the visitor clicker with a row counter!

And here we end the @PalaisGalliera's Worth: The Inventor of Haute Couture exhibit. In 1952, Roger Worth retired after the house merged with the House of Paquin two years earlier. Both houses ended their couture line in 1956. The house was then sold to various other brands, but

I’m such a sucker for pop art crochet patterns www.etsy.com/listing/4369...

One of the best ways to combat How Everything Feels Awful Right Now is to do something on a regular basis that helps others directly. Whether you go out and volunteer at a soup kitchen or stay home and volunteer for a helpline, those actions create hope & make positive changes feel attainable.

I’m working on tea cozies. What do you think? 🧶🐇 #knitting

Spent the morning cleaning the sink & whole bathroom ready to was wool only to realise there is no plug anyway. At least the bathroom is clean!

Here's a few more pictures of my. favourite darning mends on my sisters campfire blanket! Besides the huge long hole, there were lots of little holes and singe marks in the blanket that were fun to mend. #visiblemending #mendingmatters #solarpunk #ecopunk
