I met Basil Brush

Saw this pitched today @cmcsheffield.bsky.social and if it does not get made I want there to be a national inquiry

Also @cmcsheffield.bsky.social this evening I had the privilege to spend sometime with the Lord Mayor of Sheffield. Who is singular in her energy and heart. As well as being Lord Mayor she is founder of Reach Up Youth … that was previously not aware of … reachupyouth.co.uk

A bit late in the day after being at @immersiveartsuk.bsky.social The Big Thing for 3 days (I am now home) I remembered that I used to use social media platforms to connect with people at events. So er hello 👋🏻 I was at this and it was good 👍🏻

I finished my second Tolsta Tee last night. I’ve made two in the past two months, from the same pattern. The pattern maker has designed and shared in a way that enables modifications. It is a fantastic pattern. Highly recommend.

Oh and that we should all be more Dutch … who recently held a completion for coyotes to remove paving stones a create mini gardens for citizens

Things I learned at #interesting2025
Japanese offers grammar choices you don’t know you needed
Fairytales are encoded user manuals for dark times
Polish has a word for malicious compliance, but not quite that
A woman I’ve know for a really longtime online used to be a teenage robot dancer

📢 New Creative Innovation Funding Announced from @innovateuk.bsky.social - opening on Monday 31 March. Open to creative industries businesses in eligible regions - full details of each competition can be found on the following links. I'm here to help if you have questions let me know.

We are at BLOCKING stage and I have 100% lost my blocking pins - note to self don’t put the under in to soak until you have found all the things you need.

Because knitting a jumper takes ages and there are no “fun” parts and to stop me from embroidering a face in the jumper rendering it unwearable I did some mid jumper crochet.

We’re at trying on for length stage. Length is good. Next we need to knit sleeves.

It kind of looks jumper-y now …

I did it! I split for sleeves! It was so satisfying. Added a lifeline before I did it but it went well.

Progress has been made - I need to “split for sleeves” I have not done this process before. I have read the instructions several times. Palms are clammy. Not sure I’m brave enough.

Ok. Last time I wore a mask I didn’t have glasses. How does this work?

Finally making way with knitting in the round… I think. Navigated the first round of increases - seem to have huge gaps where the increases occur.

Slowly realising I need to finally let go of instagram - if I post photos from my life apropos of nothing here will that be ok?

I am Vampire - which feels legit
