For those who think Kenya doesn’t like belly rubs... she adores them! Showing her belly is not a trap as I like to pretend 😂 Here’s proof (swipe to see) 😉 Happy #caturday

Happy Caturday, everyone! I’m currently enjoying some cat cuddles with both girls (Marshmallow is under the duvet). Kenya was being extra nice and allowed me to place my knitting on her for the photo 🖤
What are you up to today?

It’s soft, it’s fluffy, it’s gloriously yellow - I’m in love! I might have to dye some more Stop Eating the Flowers! for a future project 💛
Pattern is by @biggerthanlife_knits and it’s a simple, yet fun one to knit. Loving those dropped stitches!

Lazy Sunday in progress. My current project is a lovely test knit for @handmadebykunbi for her Arewà pullover. I’m loving it and can’t wait for all of you to see the finished results!
Using some old stash yarn by MadTosh, in the Tart colourway. Also brought out my most favourite stitch marker 😎
Hope your Sunday is a great one.

Still feeling all those yellow/orange vibes. This bag has that perfect shade for sure, and the bunnies add that extra layer of cuteness 😍 Size small, available in the shop.

What’s everyone up to today?
I’m trying to set the colours on this just-finished shawl by soaking it in citric acid and heating it up as I would any yarn. Let’s hope it works, that blue is a bleeder!
Enjoy your Saturday 🙂

Finally she’s done! I corrected my dropped stitch (it was actually TWO 😱) and now I can’t even tell where the mistake was... phew.
Pattern is Heaven Scent by Boo Knits, yarn is my own, dyed custom for the client. All ready to be packed and head off on a journey!

Her majestic beauty has decided she wants cuddles as I sat to correct that dropped stitch in my lavender shawl. Her fur is pure velvet, and she purrs so loudly 🖤

Knitting the Chasing Blizzard shawl (free pattern by @kativilliina). Using some @rosapomar Mé Mé yarn that I bought the last time I was in Lisbon. After the jeans mending (see previous post), this is the perfect way to end my lazy Saturday.

Mending. There’s a special joy for me to give new life to old clothes, knowing the landfill won’t have yet another piece of human-made rubbish to fill it.
It’s a slow process, and I love slow stitching. I’m a process girl, not a finished product one. Seeing the (very wonky and uneven) stitches reinforcing the now fragile denim gives me hope this pair can be worn for some time longer. Let’s hope I’m right. #mending #makedoandmend

Laid down a blanket to keep warm at the end of my Yoga session... it seems “If I Fits, I Sits” is working for Marshmallow 🖤

Custom order! I like these, they lend a welcome disruption to my day. I wasn’t planning on doing any dyeing today, but there you have it. #eleanorshadow #indiedyedyarn #yarnaddict
