My latest YouTube video - an introductory talk about different Hat styles, sizing, construction methods and more. Because there is so much more to the humble woolly Hat! Too much for a 25min video, I have a lot more talks planned ;) 🧶 #KnitSky youtu.be/t_qf7-Y93cY?...

Bring me all of your dreams, You dreamer, Bring me all your Heart melodies That I may wrap them In a blue cloud-cloth Away from the too-rough fingers Of the world. - Langston Hughes #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Erm, I dunno, pursue my personal and professional goals, nurture loving relationships, contribute to my communities, explore the world, read, learn, create? Yep, so sad and confusing, my childless 40s!

🧶 Started the year with a crash on top of the "yet to recover from the last outing" thing. But luckily these two are done. Now praying that nephews won't outgrow their FAVOURITE footballers. All the discrepencies football fans notice here are because of my ignorance only, not disrespect #amigurumi

Hi there Blue Sky folks! I'm new here, Here's some Bach Cello Suits in the west of Ireland winter sun. Is what you're into? Would you like to hear more? I'm finding it too upsetting to open up Twitter these days...

'Two years of displacement, fear, hunger, loss, oppression, and suffering 😔🙏💔😭 I am grateful to everyone who has donated. I am confident that things will get better someday. Please donate to help my children through this ordeal.'

All day, I replay these words: Is this the path of love? ... I notice what the question is not. Not, "Is this right?" Not, "Is this wrong?" It just longs to know how the action of existence links us to the path to love. And is it this? Is it this? - Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer #Poetry 💙📚👀

I think it's so funny when people who are used to Playing An Algorithm go to new social media sites that haven't really implemented much Algorithm, and find themselves flailing because they're posting Correctly but they're not getting anywhere near the numbers they do on solidified Algoritm sites.

🧶 Took five months to do the four rows!! When one row has close to 1k stitches, cant complain. 🤭 Now, I can start with the edge charts. This needs a lot of focus and hence makes me more sick after the knitting session. It is the kind of sick I am choosing once in a while for my happiness #knitsky

I finally made good use of the holidays, and wrote a bunch and redid my website. Please take look, read and send me some love :) purisubzi.in. Oh, and happy new year!

we like our old scarves, we like to have our own way, we like to pet dogs. Poetry- but what is poetry. More than one flimsy answer has been given to that question. And I don't know, and don't know, and I cling to it as to a life line. - Wislawa Szymborska #Poetry 💙📚👀 #LiteratureSky

Socks 21 of 2025 - Ending with the the Purr-fect socks which are in no way perfect, but makes me so happy with all the vibrant colours. 🥰 #knitsky 🧦🧶 Had to use 3mm needles for the colourwork part because otherwise it won't go over my heel. High instep :(

Sometimes our best efforts do not go amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to. The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you. - Sheenagh Pugh #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

🧶 My final order of 2025 is ready. Another little Snowhite for somebody's niece. I used a smaller hook this time. This month I made three dolls and I am starting to like the process a bit more than usual. 😬 #crochetsky #amigurumi

I regret not buying a noise cancelling headphone when I had money. Stupid neighbours and their constant house renovation sucks!!!

Ex Machina Book One feels less like a superhero story and more like a political drama with a cape on standby. Smart, grounded, and a bit cynical, it pulls you in by asking what happens after the hero decides to run a city instead. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

Lost Dogs by Jeff Lemire is a tough, quiet read. It feels like a dark fable where things go wrong fast and never really recover. Very little dialogue, lots of heavy silence, and an ending that just sits with you in an uncomfortable way. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

People who live by the sea understand eternity. They copy the curves of the waves, their hearts beat with the tides, & the saltiness of their blood corresponds with the sea. They know that the house of flesh is only a sandcastle built on the shore, -Erica Jong #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

The main predictors of adult (financial) success are nepotism, wealth, and sheer dumb luck. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

It is in the silence that my hope is, and my aim. A song whose lines I cannot make or sing sounds men's silence like a root. Let me say and not mourn: the world lives in the death of speech and sings there. - Wendell Berry #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

Four years ago, I translated bitcoin to തരിപ്പണം, expecting Malayala Manorama to run with it, but it never took off. Bluesky, it’s yours now.

Something is very gently, invisibly, silently, pulling at me-a thread or net of threads finer than cobweb and as elastic. I haven't tried the strength of it. No barbed hook pierced and tore me. Was it not long ago this thread began to draw me? Or way back? - Denise Levertov #Poetry 💙📚👀

Hey #knitsky, I'm curious: Within your own color scheme, what are your neutral colors? Thinking about the beigification discourse and going through my wardrobe led me to realize that my clothes + what I knit falls either in the red-olive or blue-teal spectrum, and so my neutral colors, as in: goes

Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew. It's the same when love comes to an end, or the marriage fails and people say they knew it was a mistake, that everybody said it would never work. That she was old enough to know better. But anything worth doing is worth doing badly. -Jack Gilbert #Poetry 💙📚👀

You get killed now and then, violated in various ways. (And sometimes it's turn about.) You get tired of that. Long-suffering, you wait and pray, and maybe good things come - maybe the hurt slackens and you hardly feel it any more. You have a breath without pain. It is called happiness. #Poetry 💙📚👀

PP is Hibiscus ing 🧶😁 I am glad that the things I make get to breathe some mountain air. 🥰

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

Tropic of the Sea by Satoshi Kon is a quiet, myth-tinged manga about tradition, greed, and the sea. Simple yet haunting, it reveals Kon’s early fascination with belief, responsibility, and how modern ambition fractures ancient promises. 💙📚 #BookSky #Manga

What's it like to be a human the bird asked I myself don't know it's being held prisoner by your skin while reaching infinity being a captive of your scrap of time while touching eternity being hopelessly uncertain and helplessly hopeful -ANNA KAMIEŃSKA #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

It’s not you, it’s your lack of alt text.

Can share now that these have been gifted. Presenting the Christmas ornaments I’ve been giggling about for days. Especially the Cheshire Cat one. Pattern from YouTube. They’re perfect really. I mean is this not the exact view you have of your cat as soon as the holiday tree goes up? So silly! 😆

🧶 Took only 20 days to do the rest of the doll!! Now I am praying that nephew identifies this one as Ronaldo. But isn't he so cute??🥹 Will see if I can make a tiny football charm too. Guess who is proud of embroidery skills? 🤭 #crochetsky #amigurumi #bsnm

Open your heart to who you are, right now, Not who you would like to be, Not the saint you are striving to become, But the being right here before you, inside you, around you. All of you is holy. You are already more and less Than whatever you can know. Breathe out, Touch in, Let go. #Poetry 💙📚👀

🧦🧶 Guess who just finished 20th Pair of socks in this year! I was aiming for at least one pair for a month if I can keep up without worsening any of my symptoms. So soo happy that I could. 🥰 This is the cotton version of Ilana Socks. So pretty!!!

Jane, the Fox & Me is a simple and tender graphic novel about bullying, loneliness, and finding refuge in books. Through quiet moments, soft illustrations, and Jane Eyre, it captures how small connections can gently restore self-worth and hope. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels

And you begin to accept your defeats With your head up and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. #Poetry 💙📚👀

The limitary nature of a wall Is partial only, to keep out dogs and insects, Contain the furniture, exclude the rain. .... Memory Knows no walls. They are elementary limits. Only a fool would cut the sea with a knife, Or say to a wind: Exceed this line at your peril. - Hyam Plutzik #Poetry 💙📚👀

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Some Grey, white and bright from my end for this week's prompt. I was thinking that I don't have any, then I remembered I have 🧦 😁 #knitsky

I was sure that I won't be getting any orders this year and was forcing myself to concentrate on the messi and ronaldo dolls I am making for nephews. Today I got an order for the Snowhite doll(for someone's niece) and think the Universe wants me to spend the rest of this year in #amigurumi hell. 🧶
