I’ve gone a bit cross eyed so time to call it quits for tonight.

In related news: I’ve broken the tiny crochet hook I was using for the beads. I’ll use a piece of wire instead for the final home run 😅

My son (11) is taking piano lessons at school.

Yesterday, apropos of nothing, he decided to bang this out on his mum’s really old keyboard 😍

That’s my boy!

PS: we’ve got him a proper digital piano for Christmas.

Folks!!

We have a #startrek USS Voyager!

Now listen, I’m not a Trekkie but throughout the process of #knitting this scarf I’ve learned that Voyager is either loved or loathed.

I know that the future recipient of this scarf loathes it 😅

Still to do: the […]

There’s a moated mansion (https://www.helmingham.com/) near us in #suffolk #england that creates this beautiful festival of light around Christmas time.

We went there yesterday and it was as magical as ever 😍

Reader! The plot thickens!!

And I’m currently in the middle of making the USS Voyager 😅😅😅

Guess I shall have to make the DS9 station, just to balance it out for him.

An update:

As suggested by @consumablejoy, I asked my friend if he liked DS9. This was his reply.

So I’m guessing I’ll just stop after the voyager logo 😅

#startrek double #knitting scarf update and question:

I’m at 407 rows (out of 611) and the scarf now measures 155 cm (62 inch), and I’m wondering whether I should stop at the end of the USS Enterprise spaceship and logo, or do I complete the whole thing […]

#nowplaying the rather excellent Richard. D. James Album by Aphex Twin.

Some of his music can be quite harsh/clinical, but this album is full of some beautiful electronic melodies.

Same gym clothes, six months apart 😅

I think I need to get some smaller ones now. These look silly.

6 months to the day of #mounjaro treatment for #weightloss.

It’s definitely slowing down now but I’m really happy with the results so far.

Onwards!

My wife saw me struggling with the scarf as it’s gotten quite long so she had the genius idea of shoving it all in the Zelda ruby pouch I got last week from the Nintendo store 😅

Now I can just turn the pouch around easily, without having to untangle the scarf […]

This is the how she wants the colours, repeating round and round to make a big afghan.

Thoughts?

Would you like to see a knitted TNG insignia?

I’ll take that as a yes 🖖

This morning’s dog walk hat is this Horace Goes Skiing beanie I made many years ago, with help from @Jayenkai and @andycarolan with the pattern.

This is the first time I’ve ever worn a jumper I’ve made, and I think it looks quite good if I do say so myself.

Also, very good for this freezing weather!

YES!!

I was gutted that I missed the original west end run of Inside No 9, so I’m delighted they’ve announced some final London dates.

The show is one of my favourite things ever. I can’t wait!
