European Space Agency astronaut class of 2022. Exploration Commercialisation Lead at UK Space Agency.
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...

You can never have too many hobbies, right? This weekend I had the chance to go #sailing, exploring the stunning #Basque coastline from #Bilbao on the beautiful 46ft “Lady Magellan”. ⛵️
I’m looking forward to learning the ropes, quite literally, some more soon!

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.

Finally finished my very own Norwegian #PeaceSweater / #PeaceGenser jersey!
🇳🇴 🧶

Originally created by HouseOfYarn Norway (it is inspired by the #Torino2006 Winter Olympics and based on a heart-rose motif. I used baby merino wool on 2.5mm needles; it took about three months to complete.
