Soft Gaia, warm Gaia, little ball of fur, happy Gaia sleepy (de-commissioned) Gaia, whir whir whir!

(Psst, I've improved my Gaia Pattern which is available to purchase on my Ravelry!) #crochet #space #astro #crocheting

My take on the supposedly edible British dish called Stargazy pie, a major improvement if you ask me! #baking #astro

The phase spiral blanket is inspired by the actual phase spirals in the Milky Way discovered using Gaia, and is now a free crochet pattern!

While galactic spirals are cool and all, you can't beat a good homemade cheese and herb spiral on a rainy day! #baking

Had a little trip to the Durham botanic gardens during #NAM2025, and got to see my favourite plants! And of course, obligatory pic of the river Wear.

Working on a new blanket pattern, based on some of the wildest plots I've seen in papers this year #space #crochet #stem

Space kitty! His name is Herschel 🪐 #caturday #cats #space

Forgot about the eclipse, was too busy cat-sitting this goblin. Before and after I said no more treats #caturday #cats

Very obsessed with the new #Euclid images, I think my favourite is the Cat's Eye nebula. You can easily forget many images use X-rays, UV, etc to highlight activity, so it's striking to see a violent site appear so calm in optical + NIR! #space #astronomy #science #stem

Launch date: 2009. Just slightly off #jwst #space

Finally got round to adding a little charm to my sweater, now it's fully complete! I'm definitely not procrastinating instead of finishing a chunky paper (it's 57 pages!!)
Pattern is Spírall by Védís Jónsdóttir, knitted with Léttlopi.

As a little goodbye tribute to Gaia, I made some cinnamon "phase spiral" buns (snúðar). Wearing my matching sweater of course! #MilkyWay #Space #Astro

My partner got me the cutest night sky glass, it even has the Milky Way on it!
