Printed a few sizes of finger splints to protect my hypermobile joints. Interested to see how they go. I can bend them forward fine, but I'd like them not to bend the wrong way and sublux. That's not fun.

For the Grocery Store Santa, I'm always up for 80%+ dark chocolate, Reese's PB cups, mushroom chips, interesting spice mixes, nuts, chicken larb seaweed, and cat treats.
And, ofc, strongly flavoured cheese. Yes, I miss the Cheese Advent Calendars!

I knit, crochet, embroider, ice dye, and 3d print. We had an Asbestos Purge last month and I lost all my 250+ embroidery thread skein collection, so DMC and Anchor skeins in good order appreciated. Thrifted is fab. Prefer not on bobbins. Also a sucker for gradient yarn.

From the macro of space to microscopic organisms, I'm into it. Tardigrades, nudibranchs, dinosaurs, ammonites, anglerfish, nebulae, cephalopods, auroras, fungi, slime molds, spiders, etc. If it's a bit unusual, I'll dig it. My fave mug has stylised Influenza virus on it!

Dear #SecretSantaAoNZ, Thanks for being my Santa! Don't stress, have fun. I'll love it. Handmade, 2nd hand, regifted, upcycled 100% awesome.
I'm often homebound due to chronic illness. My world may be small, but I appreciate the tiny things more than most.
I 💚 natural science quirky things...

I listen to audiobooks constantly. I'm always a sucker for a nice gradient yarn. My 250+ skein collection of embroidery thread was lost to the Asbestos Purge last month, so DMC or Anchor skeins would be appreciated.
Here are a few of my projects over the years.

Elvi is our clever lady cat. She is likely plotting to take over the world between naps. JP is a lovely boy, but is is often somewhat confused by the world. Ripley is a Huntaway-Border Collie cross and I am VERY much her spare human. She thinks I'm a particularly dim sheep.

I'm well behind on my #SecretSantaAoNZ hints, so I should get to it. What are my favourite colours? Dark jewel tones!

He's a lovely boy, but our lady cat Elvi has most of the functioning cat neurons in the house. She may also be plotting our murders.

JP is completely discombobulated by this turn of events as well. WHAT'S GOING ON?!

One of the many thing caught up in the Asbestos Purge was our wet cat food lid. Mr Engineer designed a slightly tighter new one, perfectly personalised for our picky pusses

Disruptive designs are the only reason I have anything to wear that LOOKS unstained. I ice dyed a lot of my clothes last year in good part due to this reason.

Our front door look screams welcome! I only wish it was decoration for Hallowe'en and not a real asbestos decontamination zone.

Spa-like environment & extreme decluttering at ours. Builder figured out the siding had asbestos AFTER replacing 7 windows. We can't be in the house, partner who WFH can't work without access to his specialised set up. Cats & dog boarding. We are in the granny flat w/93 yo dad. Stress all around 🇳🇿

Elvi, yes. She's a tiny, adorable menace. Our other cat has zero interest.

Knitted a couple of test swatches for my first blanket, Ocean Waves. Definitely prefer the drape of the larger needle. I'm scaling the blanket down and also don't have access to all the much worsted, so I'm knitting with DK

Practicing Portuguese Knitting with tensioning the yarn through a carabiner attached to a choker necklace. My hands love it and my gauge isn't overly tight which can be an issue for me at times 🧶🇳🇿
