Twisted always gets a lot of attention at yarn shows. It's a knitted brioche cowl with a moebius construction, so you get to see both sides of the brioche design at the same time - the 'front' of the fabric is shown on the top in these photos and the 'back' of the fabric is at the bottom. 1/2

Rufus on #Caturday... idly plotting mayhem in the winter sun. 😬 🥰

Cute miniature originals off to their new homes. With their own little authenticity card, a little message from me, packaged in its own little box. I’ve loved making these inspired two of my favourite things, trees & sunsets 🧡. Find them in the Pop Up Shop in Tunbridge Wells. #minipaintings #art

And this #embroidery is done! 💜 Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/4427...

There was one thing that none of my mentors told me about life in a large bookshop.... The pages of 45000+ books slurp a lot of water out of the air 📚 The humidity in here is currently 25%. When the temperature drops, it can get down to 20%. Nobody warned me I'd need gallons of moisturizer 🙄

Our friends at the University of Florence have been looking into the aesthetic appeal of European butterflies and does this bias the species we choose to protect. You can help their research by completing a simple online survey. Many thanks in advance www.unveiling.eu?fbclid=IwZXh...

Home after a mad day out to Turin. It still feels bizarre that we are able to just hop into Italy and out again, without a second thought. A stunning drive, excellent coffee and exceedingly happy with our auction purchase. It's already on the wall

Thank you so much for commissioning me, and the end result looks pretty good, doesn’t it? I’d love to do some more work like this.

The amount of butter in this recipe is... interesting! Might make it for Christmas day. 😈 #puddings #butter

I feel a bit mean saying this as livelihoods rely on people shopping stuff but honestly save your money in 2026 unless you need to replace a genuinely worn item or you can really afford it regarding clothes because a) too much synthetics & b) the price

Morning all. Allow me to show you the perfect burn 🔥

'Winter hares in conversation' by UK contemporary printmaker Angela Harding #WomensArt #ArtAdvent

In a world that asks us to move faster, I create art inviting us to slow down. My work is rooted in nature, hope & healing, meant to bring calm, connection & quiet joy into your home. If you believe beauty matters, if nature feels like home, if you’re craving a little more peace in your life…

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

Brilliant explanation. N95 is an American standard effective at 95% That is similar to European standard FFP2 and less effective than FFP3 at 99%. Fit matters but using a good respirator is now essential.

The colours... 😍

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

I am so sorry to read this, how are we in a position that a freelance presenter expressing views promoting tolerance, empathy and understanding for many marginalised persons be 'problematic'. If anything, this demonstrates its needed more than ever.

Happy #Caturday Rufus looks out at what he imagines (in his dreams!) will be his Sunday lunch.

Heartbreaking night where I told the final audience for Monkey Cage that I will ever play to that I had no choice but to resign

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Yet another panel throw 🧶 #knit #knitsky

Memories take us back. Dreams move us forward.

I’m actually terrified to do this, but here goes. One request. You do not comment until you read the entire thread. And you are respectful when you do. If not I will either restrict you or block you depending on how hateful you are. Great, glad we’re on the same page, let’s begin. 1/

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Small Business Saturday All the quilts in my online shop are reduced. Pop in and have a look. Unique Xmas presents ( or a gift to yourself). Last posting date is Dec 15th ( when my shop closes until January) www.folksy.com/shops/quilterdown #smallbusinesssaturday #handmade #quilts

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement. A Rufous Hummingbird with the target in sight. #birds 🪶 #BirdPhotography #photography #EastCoastKin

These won a Peas Prize for medical/humanitarian services in the cause of swelling reduction following dental extraction There will be a ceremony later this week when they will be defrosted and offered to the ducks & swans on the river (Bet they will glide off, affronted despite experts encouraging)

I don’t think that Americans quite understand just how sick and tired of their bullshit we Europeans actually are.

If you are shopping for loved ones this weekend, please consider adding a present for mothers and children who will spend Christmas in a refuge. @refugecharity.bsky.social Thank you. donate.refuge.org.uk/page/180196/...

Lots of artichokes at the market in Ventimiglia. Two types. The ones with the spikes are eaten raw with olive oil.

Definitely a favourite pattern ♥️ by The Wearable Art Co on Etsy 🧶 #knit #knit
