technical ineptitude or overestimated sense of self?

ah great, that works in combination! 2025 was like 1823 👌

are there really no websites that will tell you in what years the 16th of June was a Monday? do I have to resort to my paper Handbook of Dates??

somewhere out there is a photo of me in a King's XI Punjab (<- vintage) shirt pointing at 17th c Swiss arms

implausibly, 30 mins after I posted this I got a high importance email about a coat of arms from 1622. dear researchers. DO NOT.

you are 100% right. I don't know that I have ever used this feature in my entire life. but I have perhaps never been desperate enough to find out if a specific man was paid £10 in the 14th century before

was not expecting an IPL/ink-making crossover 🥹

I do enjoy people sending a "high importance" email about a manuscript entry from 1317

ohh, fingers crossed (metaphorically and perhaps also literally??) brace is going straight back on, mind

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 11h

guess who just walked from the bathroom to the living room without their brace on!! (definitely not the same person who has to go on an ill-advised train journey next week)

in other quiz news I got an unprecedented 12 (TWELVE) starter questions and I miss my pub quiz team

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I saw it in real time and then multiple people who know of my love for absurd snacks sent it to me 😀

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

have been stuck at home for so long that I have added Mastermind to my Monday night quiz routine. we have discussed potential specialist subjects in the office before – mine would be either parkruns of southeast England or novelty crisp flavours

first iced matcha in over two months / last iced matcha of the season??

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

ooh yes! just googled - not sure I’ve ever met one!

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

obviously I do want this brace to be gone but it is rather useful for cabled charted patterns …

after a discussion with a friend earlier I am now (of course) investigating patterns for knitted knee warmers. all the vintage sources are referring to them as “knee caps” which makes me shudder a bit

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

just met my first ever Cardigan Welsh corgi. perhaps the dog breed with the best ever ears?

it’s all recycled shirts!

I walked past them on the shelf, then immediately turned around and grabbed them because I deserve treats for going up and down stairs

precarious lap tray with complicated quilt planning, snacks and a Pentire & Tonic for #ConfinedCocktails (plus football on the radio)

a lap tray covered in fabric diamonds, some in stacks with numbered pieces of paper on them, a bag of methi puri and a colourless sparkling drink in a glass

in perhaps even more exciting news I discovered that GeoGrid tells you when you're the first person to put a country in a square 🇬🇼

exciting news of the day, part 1: I did stairs

it took her long enough!

I read and enjoyed Thornhedge! have also borrowed The City of Brass

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

am going to have to revise my statement about the cats generally not being interested in human food because Malka has discovered Gruyère

just learned this word. you're welcome, specialist botanists

it has taken eight weeks of being stuck at home but I am finally watching a film suspect the end of the cricket season may also have something to do with it

I missed the "also" on first reading and was about to go deep-diving into niche Quaker beliefs

the difference between getting a bus at 8.30 and at 11.30 is that the latter is full of old people who are all up in your medical details

one of these days I will crack and buy an idli steamer

had my post-surgery checkup and X-rays. disappointed to discover that my screws are stainless steel and not titanium

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

agreed on both counts!

ugh, yes. went to this fixture last season and enjoyed it a lot more. Katie McCabe in a Chelsea shirt is 😑

should have said Persian Tiles by Janie Crow!

210

Kat @byekitty.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

the pattern is Persian Tiles in the Marrakesh colourway. both pattern and yarn sent to me as a recovery gift by a friend who realised that 1. I’d never make something with that many colour changes if I wasn’t trapped at home and 2. you can crochet while lying down
