This time last year I started making a crochet sciencey patchwork style vest. This year I want to fully finish the vest so I can wear it over the festive season!

Fingers crossed I can be successful finishing this off🤞 🧶

I guess I'll start out by sharing some up close, detail shots from my book- Stitching Science. Ask your indie bookstore if they'd like to carry it. (Or push the big name stores to order more than 1 copy). #sciart

I have been very fortunate to find a regular group of starlings murmurating along my journey home from work. They've really been brightening up the dark evenings for me with the stunning patterns they make while flying 😍

I carved out the stars and am using a UV light while I inlay fluorescent rocks into this wood slice painting. (Second photo shows the rocks lit up with the UV light!)

Attending a baby shower tomorrow for a colleague. We've worked together on our charity's space content for schools so my gift to her is this teddy bear astronaut!

I made this pattern up as I went along and used scheepjes yarn. 🧶🐻🪐🌌👩‍🚀

3.5 years ago I decided I wanted to make a crochet Periodic Table of the Elements.... and now here I am... having succeeded!
I still have a white border to add but so so close to having this blanket and massive project fully finished!
