Dyed In The Wool Yarns closed a couple of months ago and I’ve been trying to work out what to do with this space. I want to keep using BlueSky but maybe in a personal capacity. Thoughts?

The weather in the UK at the moment is unseasonably warm and that always inspires me to dye pinks, oranges, and yellows. One of my fab test knitters made this cowl using my yarn. The pink is “Toxicity” and the yellow is “Instant Hit”. Its way to warm to wear it but it can be admired! #knitsky

Years and Years on Netflix. The way AI is changing our world, from Alexa style tech to how it is changing the nature of work, is so real. We can see it happening already, for better or worse. Immigration in the UK is a farce and beyond unfair. This show illustrates it perfectly.
