I agreed to demo tablet weaving at a public venue on Saturday. Slight catch - never done tablet weaving before! Whoops. So far I’ve had actual stand up fights with both the warping pegs and the loom, and also threaded the entire warp upside down somehow…

Petition that needs a few more signatures, making it law that wheelchair users are given priority use of the wheelchair space on busses. Yup, thats not law - anyone on the bus can just refuse to move if they feel like it and the bus can leave you behind. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

A lot of people have said that we need to make racists ashamed again. Today I hit on the idea of donning a wimple, ringing a bell and chanting “Shame!” at the marchers, à la the magnificent Hannah Waddingham in GoT. Do you think it would work?

Today brought a bout of hyperfocus - designing a fairisle blanket I’ve been mulling on. However the normal pitfalls were avoided by my body helpfully getting the shakes when I didn’t eat on time AND removing all the sensation from my little finger when it really was time to stop. ✨so helpful✨

A note book with two pages of rough blankets designs with half filled in colours and scribbles of colours in pencils labelled with the names of yarn I’ve got to hand already.

Two pages filled with notes on motif sizes and two charts of modified motifs and how they link together in the palest pencil imaginable.

More pages - a list of the final motifs, the running order for the overall repeats and the start of the final plan for colours. My hand gave out and you can tell from the squiggliness

And the book I’m stealing all my ideas from - 200 Fair Isle Designs by Mary Jane Mucklestone.

Do you want to read a cursed knitting based horror comedy about a year long exercise in obstinate rage concluding in (minor) bloodshed and this pair of f🤬ing socks? Well, the Ravelry page is right here… www.ravelry.com/projects/Ser...

A pair of ankle socks with cream coloured toes, heels and cuffs. The main body is of multicoloured yarns striped with the cream in a seed stitch pattern.

Can we please stop ridiculing people based on their appearance or health issues (known or theorized)? Yeah, I get that politicians and celebs are in the public eye. It’s ableist and affects everyone else who’s not an evil cunt but happens to have a similar issue.

I’ve somehow managed to lose all of my stitch markers. I have four usable ring markers, (and a whole set of unusable ones). But I need the split type, and none of them are locatable. Not even the crappy plastic ones that I never use. I bought two packs of 40 bulb pins a few months ago. And yet.

Helen @seryndippyt.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Never fear that I am without 🧶 WIPs even if I did just finish a huge project. I’d already started making a colourwork jumper with my hand spun yarns AND a basic stockinette jumper in super fluffy warm yarn. And, of course, there’s still the raccoon, and the shawl, and those thrice damned socks…

A close up of a yoke of a colourwork sweater (Iall bunched up because I couldn’t be bothered putting it on cord.)
It shows the tops of the motif (a fairisle quatrefoil type design with ornamental dodads) in green against a greyish fawn background. The green then blends into a rusty colour which will eventually blend through burgundy and into purple. Both yarns are hand spun. The grey from a BFL and lotus fibre mix and the gradient from a hand dyed Cambrian wool top by Hilltop Clouds.

The whole yoke in all is bunchy glory. See previous photo for pattern descriptions.

The yoke of a sweater in a lavender purple (actually a mix of pink purple and blue fibres) with a ribbed funnel collar and decorative eyelet raglan shaping. It has just been split for sleeves so you can actually tell which bit it body etc.

I finally finished the Low Tide jumper. The last sleeve felt like it was going to take most of my life. It’s currently soaking - the yarn was still oiled, so it needs a nice long scour - but I figured I’d get a photo up any way, just to mark the day. 🧶

A jumper in a rust brown wool yarn. It has a ribbed neck that leads into a wide lace panel down the front and narrower panels down each sleeve.

Am I going mad? Those is two identical hair styles. We have GOT to stop letting AI create our bullshit for us. Back to the days when bullshit at least tried to follow some internal logic.

A grid of images one one women with “different” hair styles. There’s a Bob, a lob and a pixie, but then the other three viable styles are almost completely identical. They are all mid brown, a couple of inches past the shoulder, with wolf cut style layers starting around the jawline, with centre parts. Except two have ticks, but the third doesn’t.

I started a colourwork project with a gradient handspun 🧶. Then realised that the colourwork yoke extends below the sleeve division. So I would have to buy more fluff & spin gradients in very specific quantities to get them to match and… no. Looks like I’m going on an unplanned steeking adventure!
