Leaving national infrastructure as important as renewable energy up to developers and corporates to choose locations is in my opinion gross incompetence by Government ministers and shows they lack the skills to conduct due diligence. Here's why: www.jackwallington.com/why-the-uk-n...

Wednesday May 14, 2025. The Signature Knit Polo Collection arrives. This is the most fun I ever had designing. It's also the most realized I feel as an artist. I think I will be making this pattern myself for a long time. #knitsky 🧶

Three garments are stacked around each other. A blue gray buttoned polo is on the left. A speckle with a purple-blue collar is in the middle, and a gray polo with yellow accents is on the right.

Won’t say it’s a mistake, but there is a grammatical ambiguity in just one line of a pattern I am using. Others seem to whizz past it but it has stopped me in my tracks & I don’t understand what to do 😩. Heading to my wool shop to find someone anyone to explain it. #knitting #actuallyautistic #audhd

Finished! Yes I CAN learn new skills while mental health is in the dunny. A small project that anchored me in a routine. Pattern & yarn deets below - all generously gifted by not sorry/unapologetic knitter Meaghan Schmaltz #knitting #knitsky #craftsky #mentalhealth #actuallyautistic #keepshowingup

A knitted hat in a speckled dark rust color with a light speckled yarn for the details. It has a 2x2 colored rib band, then a latvian braid, then in the body of the hat are knitted oak leaves and acorns. The hat is laying on a bed of oak leaves.

My audhd brain is a mind map on crack. Until it isn’t. I love letting my curiosity run riot. But when I come across something so clever, imaginative or suspenseful I can’t handle the intensity of my feelings. Brain shuts down. Minecraft videos and granny crochet 🧶 become my best friends.

For the last three years, we have had tens of thousands of people subscribed to a monthly sock subscription that donates all profit to charity. Every month, we order a little extra just in case. Over the years, that has resulted in...a warehouse problematically full of socks. We are...oversocked.
