Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Ha, I remember. We had been talking about how much more awkward you found it that crochet, and then we were in Duttons and a book I glanced through said continental might be easier for left-handers. “Aha” I thought… Strictly tho, apparently I’m a combination knitter, so Knitstagram informs me 😇 110

Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 14/03/2025This is the best, and my favourite space traveller We should strive not only to do projects like voyager, but to *create* and *protect* the systems that allow risks like this to be taken. Voyager was pretty cheap, as projects go, but it needed optimistic vision… 030

Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I long ago moved the social media apps to the “back” of my phone. It is liberating to break the habit. 010
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Here’s a “why you have to block lace knits” mood 😮 🧶 0250
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Aww thank you ☺️- 50g of spare variegated sock yarn was sitting in the stash crying out for a dark wool contrast. I really like how it’s turned out 010
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 15/01/2025For WiP Wednesday what will be the first completed project of the year - and a bonus cat 🧶 1782
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I found this on Etsy years ago and it’s the best knitting accessory I’ve ever got keeps things from getting lost - it’s not the tidiest but i would be lost without it 130
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Are they top down? If so, frog it back to the cuff and turn them into mittens. Am planning doing that with a sock where the 2 colour work made it too tight to put on. 110
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I think I promised crows. The weather is chilly here at the moment and the campus crows particularly bold in pursuit of treats from me - they spot me veeery quickly when I appear. Being spotted in cahoots with them does get me into some nice conversations too 😄 050

Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Well, having knitted a bunch more of it, I then had to do a significant frog ‘n’ repair because I accidentally knitted 2 together and messed up the pattern big style 😳🤯 100
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Happy New Year all, and hello to my many new followers. Stay for the #wildflowerhour #knitting #academic chat, #ecology my cat, and possibly the odd crow 🐦⬛ - everything else is muted to preserve my equanimity… 0230
Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Homage to Amma (maternal grandma) who could knit this stuff with her eyes shut (though she only ever did the tradition Icelandic black and white - yarns have come a loooong way!)

Prof Thorunn @luehea.bsky.social · 16/12/2024This is so true. Natural history is such an important part of ecology. Not knowing the actual organisms in the real world makes it very hard to understand the interconnectedness, and the role of time and space. #naturalHistory 0101
