Knitted some coasters because all the other ones are still packed away and I hate when you get the condensation on a cup that makes rings on the coffee table. #knitting #yarn #handmade

We just got an air fryer, so the first thing I've made is a cheese toastie.

Yesterday, me and the wife went out to do the shopping and we got accosted by someone trying to get us to switch over to Scottish Power. There were so many red flags in the convo and it's still bothering me. 1. He misgendered my wife, and continued to do so after being corrected. 2. Assumed that 1/3

So ya girl finds herself a week away from payday without enough in her account to cover paying transportation costs *and* fripperies like eating. Also I urgently need to buy laundry pods so I can wash my warm weather clothes. You can paypal.me/ajmckenna to help!

My poor lavender bush didn't survive the extreme temps here last week, so I've chopped it back in the hopes that it can be revived. I gathered the nicest of the branches and tied them together with some cotton yarn to make a nice dried bouquet to sit on the mantle piece. #lavender #herbgarden

Summer cardigan no 5 is finished! I had hoped I would finish it last night so I could include it in my June round-up but I only managed the finishing touches this morning! #crochet #yarn #handmade

Today I took a break from crocheting cardigans, and sewed a cushion cover. I would liked to have used the sewing machine for this as it would have only taken 5mins but its buried deep in my craft room behind most of our possessions, so I sewed it by hand instead. #handsewing #sewing #handmade

Sometimes you make something to learn what you want to do differently. This one I did a bit short and narrow on the arms, so next time I know what I will do differently! #yarn #cardigan #crochet

I got added to a "Transphobes" list for pointing out somebody was really into nonce art at one point. Apparently the transphobia is coming from inside the house??

Man comes to the door trying to sell us internet, I explain that it's my wife's area, refer to her SEVERAL times as my wife. Man: OK, well here's a leaflet, if you speak with your partner about this... I wish my response had been "I said wife."

Yet another cardigan done! This one is a little snug on my arms at the moment, but I am working on toning the bingo wings so it should be OK in the coming months. It might relax a bit with a steam but it's too hot to think about that right now... #crochet #cardigan #yarn

Desperate times call for desperate measures. When it's hotter than the devil's unmentionables (and will be for a while) you invest in a cooling mask.

We had a lovely afternoon out at Quarry Bank Mill today, here's my haul - 3 pieces of material made in the mill, 2 bags of flowers seeds for the garden, and a pin of the mill itself. I don't have any plans for the material as yet but something will present itself to me at some point!

I finished this before work yesterday, and today it's getting it's first outing to a National Trust house #yarn #grannyhexagon #crochet #handmade

I'm back again with some helpful hints and tips for knitting and crochet! youtu.be/MmLUDVkmM0M

This was the start of my life with yarn - around 6 years old, being taught by my Nana how to knit. #yarn #knitting

Hot off the hook this morning - summer cardigan number 4! #crochet #handmade #yarn #grannyhexagon

This is yarn I've reclaimed from an old cardi that I've not worn for a decade. I'm not sure what it's going to be, but quite possibly it will become another cardigan. Once I can find my knitting needles, because I packed them to move and didn't keep track of which box that was... #knitting #yarn

Finished last night - my third summer cardigan of the year! #cardigan #yarn #crochet

I've been a yarn based crafter for a couple of decades now, I'd you'd like to learn a few tips from me, head over to the ol' YouTube! #knitting #crochet #yarn youtu.be/tnGZ8v07eMQ

When moving house you find all sorts of things you'd forgotten you had, this badge is an archaeological example of the era that I used to wear this jacket in.

Spotted this shiny guy on my lavender plant, anyone know what sort of beetle this is? I think it's a rosemary beetle

Here's the finished cardigan on my human form, it's comfy but I think I miscalculated the width I'd need and it's a bit baggy. But that's good for air flow, so she's staying as she is! If it gets to a point where it's way too big, I'll just frog it and start again! #cardigan #crochet #yarn

1/2 Literally just finished this cardigan, the second of my "summer cardis". It's a little thicker and heavier than I had hoped it would be, but it's still less toasty than my winter cardigans, so I am happy with it. #yarn #crochet #cardigan

Funny how anything left-wing has been "conclusively disproven at the ballot box" yet someone who was roundly trounced and rejected by the electorate can still be invited onto morning TV to espouse dangerous rubbish like this

Hot off the needles this evening is a little neck scarf, I had intended on making it a bit bigger but it's a fine yarn so it was taking a while! #yarn #knitting #scarf

Given the benefits of mixed solar/agricultural land, especially with grazing animals and avoiding monocultures, and making use of as much as possible of urban spaces...just do both? I really don't think this needs to be an either/or situation.

I finished this cardigan last week and completely forgot to post it! I have wanted a light cardigan for the summer, so I got some light cotton yarn and made this. I do want more of these so I have some options, so I will be on the look out for more lightweight cotton yarns #crochet #cardigan

I still have yarn to use up, so I'm going to make some "cat mats" to donate to a cat shelter, or for a cat related fundraiser. So far I've finished this one, and I'll keep making them as I have yarns to use up. #yarn #crochet #handmade
