I love to have a #crochet project of an evening. This time I thought I’d make some keepsakes for my colleagues - personalised with flag and colours. 🧑🚀👩🚀😊
1.6mm hook, yarn odds and ends from my stash, and 2x3cm flags. Each took ~5hours. Pattern by natascha.zayceva linktr.ee/natascha.zay...

The #ProjectHailMary movie trailer released this week. *amaze* 🤩
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this, but, if you have not already read Andy Weir's book or listened to Ray Porter's narration... AVOID spoilers until then! 🤜🤛
I strongly encourage you to read/listen before you watch.

More than a zero-g indicator, Joy symbolises grace, unity and the shared spirit of exploration. When Joy floats, it means: welcome to microgravity 🚀
