They did duel, powerball, gauntlet and the wall. Then a break and the contenders did the eliminator. Radzi and Maia were great hosts. Lots of fun crowd bits too. #Gladiators

Went to the Gladiators Live Show in Liverpool yesterday. It was really great. C loved it and he was delighted to get a foam finger. All the events look much harder in real life! Powerball is savage.

Went for a nice walk around the Botanic Gardens today, they have a fun pumpkin competition. We visited our favourite tree the E Woodii, it seems to be in good form.

I'm a woman in my 40s and yet people here are speaking to me about the mittens I knit as if I was an 8 year old who did well on a spelling test. Sigh.

Finished knitting some spooky fingerless mittens for H last night. She helped design them. I love how the ghosts turned out.

In Lidl this morning and they had a whole trolly of sauces for free. Maybe they were delivered in error as they have Ukrainian on them. Got myself ketchup, sweet chilli and mustard. Delighted with myself at the bargain. 😂

My daughter designed Halloween mittens and yesterday I made a lot of progress knitting them. Using the Pacific knit co Doodle patterns. They're really fun. #knitting 🧶

Finished these socks recently but finally got around to grafting the toe today. The pattern is one I've mostly memorized and the yarn is from wollmeise. I got it in London about 15 years ago. #knitting 🧶

Finished sewing the cielo top by closet core this morning. It turned out really nicely. Lots of nice details like the cuffs and slight gathers on the sleeves. I like how the darts were placed too. #Sewing #GarmentSewing

Siobhan’s cloak on #TraitorsIRL was designed by Oran Aurelio using donegal tweed fabric from Magee. It’s a Kinsale cloak and you can get a similar sewing pattern here. www.folkwear.com/products/207...

Knitted a dapper vest for Zeeb Glorb the alien over the weekend. This is a first draft using another pattern. He wants a jumper for the winter apparently so I'll be making another. #knitting 🧶

They had this on Facebook today so maybe….

Making decent progress on my sock. Doing the heel flap. Next step is to memorise the short row instructions. #knitting 🧶

Someone has been spray painting positive graffiti on the path in the park and I can't be that mad at them.

Made the Wildwood jacket last week, it's a pattern by Helen's Closet. Made from a quilt. It worked out really well and I wore it this morning and it's perfect for this time of year. #GarmentSewing

Good morning from the CMAT mural in Dunboyne. The coffee is lovely too.

CMAT did a Celtic Tiger style photo call on Stephen’s Green for the launch of Euro Country! With Marty Whelan. Iconic.

Happy #InternationalDogDay to the best dog April. She brings a lot of fun to the house while being a very good girl.

Any day you get to hear Kristin Hersh play guitar is a good one. Great Throwing Muses gig at Whelans.

We were at the waterfall recently but saw no wallaby. I'm fascinated. I hope the poor thing is ok. Maybe it will be caught and then it can go live with other wallabies.
