Mercury (Emily Anne Davies) @mercuryzelda.bsky.social · Jan 9
Hi! I'm Mercury / Emily, a white genderqueer person. I mostly spend my time knitting, listening to The Beatles & other 1960s rock & pop along with some K-pop, and trying to study Korean and Japanese. I used to write & make art; I want to get back into doing both of those things. 💚

Anyway, I came back to post another test knit 🧶 for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social #PerfectlyKnotted ! This is the #DKCompassCrewSweater and I absolutely loved making it and now love wearing it. Yarn is from @wildfloweryarn.bsky.social . Pattern comes out end of September!
Mercury (me), a fat white genderqueer person, stands in a 3/4 view looking at the camera. I'm wearing a white and pastel long-sleeved sweater with raised compass lines down the front, back, and sleeves - the DK Compass Crew Sweater. A back view of the sweater. A profile view of the sweater. A close-up of my right arm to show the compass line detail.

Happy Pride Month!
Just in case anyone was wondering I wont be shutting up about Trans rights, you shouldn't either.

Anyway the shop is reopening tomorrow and we've got some new pride related yarn and accessories launching.

Trans Pride Flag Self striping yarn, 3 mini skein sets and Stitchmarkers
A set of 3 self striping skeins in trans pride flag colours wound individually into little piles. Closer to the front of the image are 5 mini skeins arranged like the trans pride flag, these minis are also speckled in rainbow colours. arranged on a tie dye background are several charms, all pride themed. There are several pride flags made to look like sloshing liquid in potion bottles and a larger spellbook charm with progress pride flag flames coming out of it.

I finished test #knitting the #StapleTank by @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social using my gorgeous "Love Yourself... Or Else" #yarn from @sisterananseyarn.bsky.social ! I'm so pleased with it and I learned so much about shaping. The bust darts I made aren't perfect but they will be on the next one!

What an absolutely amazing weekend at the East Anglia Yarn Festival! The biggest highlight for me was finally meeting @victoriaknits.bsky.social in person after six years of online friendship 🥹
A photo of me and Victoria at the East Anglia Yarn Festival! I dyed my hair blue, green and yellow to match my jumper, which Victoria designed. Victoria is wearing a sea green linen dress topped with her own design, a sea green lace cardigan.
