Since I have NO shame whatsoever, I was chatting with Anna Pezzetta because I wanted to understand if she's gonna compete in Sheffield and to find out the name of the cat I'm crocheting for her. I've discovered she has 4 😻😻😻😻 - Whisky, Fuchs, Amedeo and Carolina, named in Carolina's ⛸️ honour

Ireland is very green 💚☘️

I'm going to a funeral on Friday My brain: I've got nothing to wear My colourful wardrobe: I beg to differ #goth

New Personal Best for Lara at the Italian nationals today 😻

The AI plague has reached the Etsy crochet pattern domain. The intelligence is artificial, but the irritation is fucking real

I've been let down many times in my life, but I never thought a #crochet pattern could hurt me so much. I'm left with 1kg of yarn and a broken dream. To the scamming Etsy seller out there, this isn't over

Happy 9th birthday to my baby 🎂 I can't believe it's already been 5 years since I rehomed you 🥹 I love you more than anything #cat #crochet

8 weeks to the Europeans ⛸️ wish me luck #crochet #figureskating

It is with immense joy that I am announcing that the legend, the one and only ⛸️ LARA NAKI GUTMANN 🦈 @laranaki-gutmann.bsky.social has joined Bluesky 🦋🤩🥰😍🥳 Spread the word and let's make her feel the full power of our skating community! 💙⛸️ #FigureSkating #GPFigure

Some of you already know that I don't really watch the men's events, and by reading all your posts of the past 6 weeks I'm now confident it's one of the best choices I've ever made in my life #GPFigure #FigureSkating #FinlandiaTrophy

I logged off work only 1 hour ago so haven't seen anything at all... But I've learnt that to keep my mental sanity I need to know the results before watching. It means I'm ready for whatever sorcery happened. Now, has the menning spread to all disciplines today?!?!? #GPFigure #FinlandiaThrophy

Breaking news: I'm chatting with Lara Naki Guttman on Instagram, suggesting her to join Bluesky. She says she'll register! I've asked her to tell me her username once done (if she does register) 🤩😍🥰🥳⛸️🦈⛸️🦈 My heart is racing

The chinchilla for Guignard/Fabbri is nearly done. My very first #amigurumi #crochet. I clearly overestimated myself - #cat is not impressed either, but hey, they say done is better than perfect. Plus, I still haven't forgiven them for choosing the Backstreet Boys #FigureSkating

Amazon: Black Friday starts in 2 hours My fragile brain: Finlandia Throphy starts in 38 hours Are you ready? Is anybody ready? I'm not ready #FigureSkating #GPFigure

Fantasy skating ⛸️ though faaaaar from the top, I've managed to slowly go from something like # 1000+ to # 542. Decent improvement me thinks innit #GPFigure

The difference between a real figure skater and me? They wake up at the crack of dawn, go to the rink no matter what, and train for hours. I, on the other hand, wake up at 8am, look out of the window, realise it's snowing, and diligently hide under the duvet

It's starting to look like something vaguely similar to a #crochet #amigurumi chinchilla. In the meantime, the unimpressed #cat is serving as a fluffy display stand

Bluesky skating community, I have some questions re #skateamerica. Not an expert so they might sound stupid. Could you please help me? - aren't men's results lower than usual? - opinions re C/B? I'm no hater. I think they're great. But I'm still not sold on their FD. The skirt is better though

My heart is crying for Lara. And I'm openly resenting the Russians disguised as Georgians #GPFigure

I'm still at the pub and I'm not sure I can handle 7 hours #GPFigure #SkateAmerica shift in this state. Or maybe that's the only way. I'll be able to see everything from the judges' perspective at least #AA

How am I supposed to #crochet now with this fluffy feline on my lap? #cat

One would hope we can now focus on their routine rather than on that hazardous black & red duvet cover #SkateAmerica #GPFigure

Starting the #crochet project for Guignard/Fabbri using black velvet yarn under artificial light is one of the closest things to self hatred I can think of

Time to catch up with the 2nd day of #NHKTrophy #GPFigure 🍿 I'm incapable of live blogging like you can masterfully do so I'll just focus on highlights 🧵

I've missed all the #NHK2025 but I promise I'll come back to this in couple of hours, when the newly converted skating aficionado Seamus will join me in watching the 4th stage of the series, with Mark's technical comments making my job easier #GPFigure. Out of curiosity, has there been much menning?

I've done my homework. I've bought the patterns. I've ordered all the yarn I need to #crochet the stuffed toys for the 🇮🇹 skaters ⛸️ I will be cheering for in Sheffield - I'lI cheer for everyone but I don't have enough time or yarn 🧶 to make amigurumi for all the competitors. It's so exciting 🤩

Good morning lovely people. I was supposed to go skating IRL and watch all the replays later, but here I am, checking some of the highlights and getting ready for the women's SP ⛸️🧵 #GPFigure #NHKThrophy

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this #GPFigure is cursed 😭 the judges have been recruited at AA meetings and the menning has infected the entire GP ⛸️ (PS: on Instagram Charlène said she didn't lose consciousness)

Life is menning right now. Seamus's dad has gone to a better place. I showed him all your lovely messages and he loves you all. He's looking forward to Sheffield and meet you all. We're now at the pub, which is the way how the Irish deal with grief 🍀 Tiofcaidh ar la 💚

I must start crocheting asap the stuffed toys (aka amigurumi) that I'll throw into the rink at the Europeans ⛸️ A chinchilla for Guignard/Fabbri (they have a chinchilla pet), a cat for Anna Pezzetta and obviously a shark for Lara. If you don't want to see my WIP, I recommend muting #crochet 🤣

Thanks to the ISU and its choice of music/decade for the RD, for days I've gone down a very nostalgic memory lane. On the plus side, I've concluded that Guignard and Fabbri should have chosen a 90s Italian song. It would have taken the roof off in Milano ⛸️🥹

For the 3rd weekend in a row, the #GPFigure will have to wait because of a medical emergency. I think that's a sign that this series is fundamentally cursed.

I'm truly devastated for Lara. It was in all likelihood her only shot. I fear she won't stand a chance at Skate America. Only and the exclusively if we go by SB and not PB, then she can be 3rd. But if the Japanese and the Koreans bring out the big guns, it's over... 🦈🥀 #GPFigure

My bf went to sleep on my bed while I was watching the women. He's sleeping like a baby-and also like a starfish-so I won't reclaim the bed. It was sweet of him to take a genuine interest in figure skating so he deserves it. Sofa it is for tonight. Goodnight skating fam ⛸️💙 love from the cats too 😺

I'm staying awake another hour only for you, Lara 🦈 #GPFigure #SKI25

Should we start testing the judges for illegal psychoactive substances before, during and after?

My boyfriend arrived at mine while I was watching the RD. I was happy to watch something else but HE proposed to witness the men menning, which is something I never do - I only live vicariouly here. By the time we go to Sheffield he'll be an expert. I love him so much 😍 #GPFigure #SKI25

Let's get ready for the wildly inscrutable ice dance scoring #GPFigure #SKI25 May the judges be just and objective

For the RD ⛸️ I'd love to watch someone dance to The Cranberries, Nirvana, Hole, Linkin Park, Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters etc. Sadly they're all are either too slow or offensive or not crowd pleasing. Don't forget the 90s weren't just pop songs. Many of us were in the alternative scene🤘🏻 #GPFigure

Morning y'all. I've caught up on the women's and I don't have much to add to what's already been said. I think I'm getting #GPFigure fatigue.

My cats celebrate #halloween to feel for one day like her humble servant. They for sure matched my sense of misery (bloody #goths). It was fun to #crochet the hats for them though. 🧶

Trying to contact Sheffield Ice Arena to clarify their bag policy. The 'contact us' page is a true masterpiece.

"What are you doing for Halloween?" my flatmate asked. "Nothing," I replied, "I don't celebrate Halloween." "You of all people don't celebrate Halloween?!" "Halloween is not a holiday. It's a lifestyle choice." 🧛🏻‍♀️🦇🖤 #goth #halloween

My one and only muse 😻

Work is really getting in the way of my Halloween crochet project #crochet

My bank account balance is inversely proportional to my hypomania #bipolar

Receiving a notification that my Vinted parcel has been delivered gives me more joy than it should 😬 I try to convince myself that buying secondhand and selling forgotten items is environmentally friendy. The guilt of being a cog in the consumerist system is still there though. Earth pls forgive me🙏🏻

We must stop this antiquated, nonsensical, non-scientific and counterproductive measure of changing the clocks twice a year. It severely affects my bipolar, especially when we switch to Daylight Saving. Pick one and stick to one FFS
