Been a trying time (looking after oldies) but glad to be home even though I had a trip to hospital last week. Cat looks like that but was actually purring her head off and is super pleased 😁

I will admit I used to feel the same, but I learned how to knit lace from charts and this is similar just without the yarn overs but with two colours of yarn. This is the most enjoyable colour work I’ve ever knitted, too!

I think there may have been a Santa-bike thing?

Bonus photo, with Yule Cat

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

Wow thanks, that’s a lot more than I expected! I saw the photo with the ice spikes/crampons and thought wow this is a serious thing, makes sense now. Sorry that you had to give it up, it is clear from the photos and words how much you loved it.

How often do you hike/climb Esja? I love the photos but curious if it’s a ‘most weekends’ or a few times a year sort of thing.

Not surprised, I don’t understand what the met office are doing these days. Gazing into the bottom of their coffee mugs in a zombie trance or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

They really do. 🫂 back.

It really was the last straw today. If you realise you have no acceptable quality stock then say so and offer a different colour or a refund. It’s the silent refund that is such a dick move. Ugh.

Big hugs. I’m still randomly struggling with no Mr Shouty here. Giant cat tree in livingroom and just can’t deal with that yet.

I think some of them are definitely only doing it to farm follows in return. I always check out someone that follows me to see if they have a bio/posts that make sense for me to follow them back.

I cultivate my own Bluesky, while still being open to random learning.

I am 100% sure he lives next door to me and has been practicing all year for tonight.

Yes I have planted as many of those damaged leaves as I can, but they’re not in good shape, I suspect they’ve been damaged for quite some time.

So at best I have a free plant that will look awful for ages while I try and save it. I just wanted a nice Christmas plant 😩

Had a conversation with the nursery and sent photos. They offered a re-send or refund. I chose re-send. They confirmed they had put it through to dispatch.

I just got notified they are refunding me instead, and they haven’t had the courtesy to let me know.

Yes it’s gorgeous. The yarn is from River Knits, a small independent dyer here in the UK. The yarn has been in my stash for a while and isn’t currently listed, but she has many other very beautiful ones.
