PhD Candidate studying the intersection between human development and methods/statistics. Research should help people live better lives ❤️ nature, knitting, my cats, my frogs, my family, and my wonderful partner, Gordon.
For those who need something positive right now, here is Jason having his bath. He moved the leaf into the pool, then sat on it. #frogs #petfrogs #cute

Finished knitting my naturally dyed cowl! Here I am wearing it out with my awesome husband (I also knit all the stuff he’s wearing 🤣)

I used lace weight yarn held together dyed with home-grown madder, marigold, indigo+marigold, and indigo to create a natural rainbow 😁 #knitting #naturaldye

More socks! I’m on a roll.

Actually, I’m just writing my dissertation and need something to do with my hands while reading/thinking 🙃 #knitting #knitsocks #dissertating #nearlydone

Hand spinning! I have not figured out what I want to make with this but I have like 250g of it total? So I should definitely knit something! #handspinning #yarn #knitting #whattoknit

Madder, Marigold, Indigo. All grown and dyed from my garden. There can be such a strong connection between nature and knitting <3 But for real, I love experimenting with what I can do!

(pattern is similar to pilot/copilot on Ravelry)

Another pair of socks! Pattern is “pumpkin spice” though I think these look more like apple blossoms 🙃 #knitting #handknit #socks

The first (but not last!) pair of socks I knit this year. There is nothing like working with your hands to create a sense of calm. Also, added coziness ☺️
