Anyway, I came back to post another test knit 🧶 for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social #PerfectlyKnotted ! This is the #DKCompassCrewSweater and I absolutely loved making it and now love wearing it. Yarn is from @wildfloweryarn.bsky.social . Pattern comes out end of September!

Mercury (me), a fat white genderqueer person, stands in a 3/4 view looking at the camera. I'm wearing a white and pastel long-sleeved sweater with raised compass lines down the front, back, and sleeves - the DK Compass Crew Sweater.

A close-up of my right arm to show the compass line detail.

Happy Pride Month! Just in case anyone was wondering I wont be shutting up about Trans rights, you shouldn't either. Anyway the shop is reopening tomorrow and we've got some new pride related yarn and accessories launching. Trans Pride Flag Self striping yarn, 3 mini skein sets and Stitchmarkers

A set of 3 self striping skeins in trans pride flag colours wound individually into little piles. Closer to the front of the image are 5 mini skeins arranged like the trans pride flag, these minis are also speckled in rainbow colours.

arranged on a tie dye background are several charms, all pride themed. There are several pride flags made to look like sloshing liquid in potion bottles and a larger spellbook charm with progress pride flag flames coming out of it.

I finished test #knitting the #StapleTank by @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social using my gorgeous "Love Yourself... Or Else" #yarn from @sisterananseyarn.bsky.social ! I'm so pleased with it and I learned so much about shaping. The bust darts I made aren't perfect but they will be on the next one!

Mercury (me), a fat white genderqueer person, stands in a 3/4 view facing the camera. They are wearing a brightly coloured, variegated knitted tank top (the Staple Tank by Claire Jackson) in shades of yellow, green, orange, and pink, with splashes of black. The tank top has black ribbing around the collar, armholes, and bottom hem. Their arms are open wide and they are smiling.

After about seven (?) months off WaniKani, I got back into it at the end of December and was pleased that I've managed to remember a decent amount of kanji. I need to go back to my textbook to study Japanese grammar, but this is reassuring that not EVERYTHING fell out of my head when I left uni.

A screenshot of the review screen from the Japanese kanji learning tool, WaniKani. It's split into five categories. The text reads:
Apprentice - 33 (Radicals 2, Kanji 9, Vocabulary 22)
Guru - 188 (Radicals 29, Kanji 37, Vocabulary 122)
Master - 98 (Radicals 10, Kanji 19, Vocabulary 69)
Enlightened - 52 (Radicals 3, Kanji 20, Vocabulary 29)
Burned - 298 (Radicals 100, Kanji 74, Vocabulary 124)
