Get yourself a friend like @ninawils.bsky.social
A silly screenshot from costar with a description of my friend Nina and I - We are space squids with our tentacles wrapped around each other and our suckers latched on tight apparently - this is a very silly thing!

Oooh, look at Sainsbury’s, with their fancy new Latin motto like they’re bleedin hogwarts

Grow up
A large Sainsbury’s Store Front with the signs for the other shops laid out underneath. They are Argos Habitat Tu. sounds a bit Latin dunnit. lol eh The fact they left out Specsavers leads me to think they knew what they were doing, and I’m probably just explaining their own joke to them

Temperature blanket 2024. The pink squares are fillers to make 400 squares; the colours go from white (below zero) to dark red (above 35). No pattern, just granny squares. Yarn is Drops Karisma.
A brown crocheted blanket with 400 different coloured granny squares. The small bits are the minimum temperatures; the middle bits are the maximum temperatures. The colours are white, different blues, greens, yellow, orange, red and maroon. There are 34 solid pink squares to make 400 squares as 366 is not divisible by anything helpful.

If you’re lucky, you’re on this earth for maybe, what, 70, 80 years? Is it really too much to ask you to just leave other people alone and let them try to have a nice life without being be an absolute nob head about it?

As promised: a picture of my finished Wordle quilt made from blocks I composed with 2 1/2” squares, each representing my score every day of March 2022. #QuiltSky It’s quite a large throw! Perfect for Sunday afternoon naps 😊
A large quilt composed of six rows of five columns separated by bright pink sashing. Each block is a grid of 5 x 6 representing a completed Wordle game with the blocks either gray, yellow, green, or cream.

A ridiculously bright cardigan for the new daughter of a former colleague.
A small pink, red, yellow and four shades of purple striped knitted cardigan with an asymmetric front. It is technically new born size but is a bit bigger than that. It has long sleeves and moss stitch edging as well as pink buttons. It is quite fluorescent. It is lying on a wooden table.

We are in the middle of a really HORRIBLE situation at school with a parent accusing my boss of all sorts of awful things. It impacts me because both her sons have additional needs and she’s accusing us of starving one. It’s not true - I’ve spent my own money on bananas for him! It’s so upsetting

I made this ridiculously wide legged jumpsuit for the summer.
Photo shows very wide legged jumpsuit in blue and white leopard print. It’s hanging on the outside of a wardrobe. The top of the jumpsuit, with a wraparound v-neck. This picture doesn’t show the nonsense legs.

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment.
Take a look at my wares and please repost.

Thanks!
A collage of nine retro-inspired designs, including vibrant prints of a vintage cassette player, bookshelves, a record player, and geometric patterns. The centre image is a photo of Gail. Surrounding Gail are images of a 70s style cushion, a modern phone case, an architectural poster, a floral pear illustration on a notebook, and an art print of a retro cafe.

I’m a bit stressed as I have semi promised a Taylor Swift style cardigan to my oldest, and it is quite a lot of complicated knitting and 4 months seems not long enough

I have seen the C word used several times recently on social media and I think it’s absolutely disgusting and totally unnecessary.

Christmas is still over 4 months away.

For all 26 of my followers, I highly recommend these terrific books.
levparikian.bsky.social Lev Parikian @levparikian.bsky.social · Aug 17
Usually I’d try to use some happy event – a good review or an upcoming talk or a nomination or whatever – to draw attention to my books, but literally nothing has happened beyond their remaining relentlessly available, so I’m going with that. linktr.ee/levparikian/...
The cover of Taking Flight, a pastel affair in shades of green blue and purple, with stylised images of various flying creatures arranged in a geometric pattern The cover of Light Rains Sometimes Fall, a collage of naturey images through the year. The cover of Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? It is mostly white with title and author and so forth, and the rear half of a goldcrest disappearing off to the right. The cover of Into The Tangled Bank, a collage of greens leaning towards the darker end of the spectrum, with naturey things dotted around: flowers, birds, butterflies and so forth. Also a pair of binoculars and anecdotes discarded crisp packet.

A temperature blanket 🧶
A large knitted blanket on a double bed; not a rainbow but a spectrum just the same with each colour representing a different colour range. The dominant colour is yellow.
