I’m doing a survey for my final university project about repurposing yarn for knit and crochet. If you knit or crochet I’d love to hear about your yarn preferences! Please find the link here: rmit.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

First knit swatch of the uni semester.

Pattern is Artichoke mosaic by Wendy Bernard.

Sorry I’ve been so quiet over here, it’s been a rough couple months. But in a couple weeks I’m back at uni for my final semester before I graduate in June/July. Been slowly trying to brainstorm ideas for my final project. Tossing up some options, yet I keep coming back to knitting at this stage.

January 26th is not a day of celebration for Australian Indigenous communities; it marks the beginning of immense loss and trauma.

Work in progress of some illustrations I’m working on. As much as I try to branch out with my procreate brushes. I just keep coming back to my fav - the 6B pencil brush. Anyways I’ve been so excited about this work that I’ve been thinking about it as I go to sleep.

A watercolour seascape of Cape Patterson Beach in Victoria, Australia. My beloved late grandfather before he passed commissioned me to paint for my Aunt. While I made this in 2017 and my style of painting has evolved, I still love it and always makes me think of my grandfather.

Beautiful morning walk this morning at the beach.

Recent trip to the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens and the Kangaroo Paw plants are thriving and it’s beautiful to see!

Cute second hand finds today!

I got a library card today for my local libraries. Borrowed 3 books on knitting, weaving and fashion history. Already seen 6 more books I want to borrow next time. I wish I’d done this sooner!

I’m slowly knitting my first socks for my partner. I go between being excited to make endless socks, and wanting to do anything but knit this sock. But I recently turned the heel for the first time and I was anxious about it. But it actually was a lot easier than I anticipated luckily!

Solidarity with Maori and their allies in Aotearoa facing a far-right attack on their rights and the country’s foundational treaty, signed with the Crown in 1840.

Mere moments before I realised I had not broken in my Doc Martin’s enough while walking to a graduate show in Brunswick.

It’s been about a year since I’ve done some watercolour painting and my little painting session today was delightful. It’s always lovely to come back to my favourite painting medium with a little mixed media. Hope you all like this little sketchbook moment as much as I do!

Some flowers I want to do some drawing studies of this week. Taken in Brunswick, Victoria, Australia.
