Well, happy Charles Darwin is “very poorly today & very stupid & hate[s] everybody & everything” to all who celebrate, because he wrote those words in a letter to his friend (and author of Principles of Geology) Charles Lyell 161 years ago today

For people in the UK, I highly recommend The Real Cheese Project. Every month you get a really interesting cheese, delicious shortbread, and a sample of something to pair with the cheese. This month was an amazing blue cheese, rosemary shortbread, and a little pot of marmalade.

Today is the sort of day I really miss working in an archive. Climate controlled storage would be so nice to hide out in right now!

Really pleased for Notts County today. And slightly weepy wishing my dad was still here. He'd have been chuffed to bits.

Realised I posted some pics of this in progress, but never the finished item! So for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 here's the finished crochet rocket ship I made for a coworker's baby, it has a bit of yellow:

A grey amigurumi rocket ship, with a red nose cone, red support struts, and a blue porthole window. There is a star shaped blanket attached to the base, with stripes of yellow, orange, red, blue, and navy. The idea is that it looks like the engine flames fading into the sky.

Recently made a baby surprise jacket. Always great fun, if mind-bending! Did a crochet seam at the shoulders and icord all the way round to match. And once again my grandmother's button box produced the ideal buttons. I swear that tin is magic! #ShowMeYourKnits

Why do I do these things to myself? Middle of a heatwave and yesterday I did my mandatory fire safety training. Now today my 🧶 crochet project is fire themed! Off to take a break to eat ice cream and think cold thoughts!

Saw the name of today's inkvent and was briefly worried they'd given us a third scented ink. Never been so relieved to have a standard ink!

I've made three jumpers for my dad, but can only find pics of two. I knit the grey one first, and have spent the last 9 years getting plenty of darning practice because he wears it so much! For the blue one, I used a Tin Can Knits pattern but designed the colourwork myself. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

It was worth staying up all night to see Liz Truss lose! Going to have a nap now before I have to work. F*ck the Tories!

It's election day! Which means that me and @christhebarker.bsky.social have launched the online version of #portillogeddon. Cross off the Tories as they are defeated by clicking on their faces. Or use automatic mode if you just want to sit back and watch it happen.

My two latest finished objects, given together as a birthday gift. Really enjoyed the fiddly crochet, though there was some cursing throughout. And I'm loving bookbinding!🧶

A white crochet bookmark. Pattern is a skeleton lying in a coffin.

A handmade notebook. Cover is pink, with a gold leaf repeating pattern. Spine is sewn using coptic stitch in pink thread.
