I live in west Wales with my partner, @utilly, and assorted four footed beasties. I'm the host of a long running podcast in which I go on, and on, and on about knitting.

Because one can never get enough of ancient #RomanGlass, Here's two 1st c. BCE ribbed glass 'rippenschale' bowls with white trails, one cobalt blue, the other burgundy.

Probably made in the eastern Mediterranean. #GettyVilla #archaeology #romanarchaeology

Thirteen summers, each as languid as the last. #caterday

Sharing this to @fediversenews, too...good to get the word abt this organizing:

"Can we make the fediverse the welcoming-est place in social media?

We’re a soft-launching new welcoming committee. All you have to do is reply to introduction posts to say hello and offer help.
We hope you’ll follow @welcoming & mention to the group how many people you welcomed....

You can point people to https://SpreadMastodon.org, https://discover.fedified.com, or any other resources you like!"

Welcome to your better social home.

My partner got this incredible action shot of our beautiful princess shadow-hunter, who also hunts negative shadows (i.e. sparkles and reflections). Happy #caturday to all who celebrate 😸
The only word for this #Caturday is magnificent.
feel like your garage is too full of junk? no problem. try referring to it as "cargo bay one" instead
Remembering that time I thought I might design a sweater with a stranded colourwork pattern based on Bassett’s Licorice Allsorts. And then I ate them.
I've got the frames, you've got the hooks, let's hang lots of Monet.
Despite being all over the place, those early stitches *were perfect* despite being haphazard, because they did what I needed them to do at the time, and they gave me the practice I needed.
I wonder if I could ask #womenshistory #needlework #embroidery enthusiasts #makers and #regency fans if they could check out my website Patterns or Perfection, which is a searchable database of nearly 200 rare needlework patterns from the Lady’s Magazine between 1770 and 1819. We are moving the site to my University’s server from its current home so it links to my other research pages/resources on the magazine and I would love feedback/suggestions: https://research.kent.ac.uk/patterns-of-perfection/ @fiberarts
