Giving a talk today. Are these sufficient to be called lucky socks? Guess we'll find out! 🙃

Finally finished a shawl I'd been crocheting to use up a bunch of 8ply yarn that someone gave my mother who then gave it to me.

Definitely some mistakes, but glad this one is done. One less mental burden/guilt!

Been pretty quiet on the crafting front mostly because I've been practising double-knitting, making all the mistakes and figuring stuff out like "If I drop a stitch, where do I stick the needle in to correct it after frogging?" rather than watching/following tutorial videos.

I randomly decided to throw in a multi-cello arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody into Melodyne to see how well it transcribed the notes. It's SO CLEAN compared to vocals, wtf.

Just ironed my first lace crochet, woo! Bit embarrassed at the unevenness, but it's to be expected with first time projects. 🥰

Local Discord server does a Wednesday WIPpies (work-in-progress) check-in in their "arts & crafts" channel, so y'all also get to see updates on my lace crochet.

Current crochet project now that the previous one is in the blocking+stiffening stage. Really enjoying it 🥰

Because I keep forgetting to leave the house I occasionally get bouts of cabin fever so here's a picture of some outdoors crochet 🙃

"Hi I'm an ex-cellist turned mathematician now doing a PhD in mathematical biology that randomly got a complimentary ticket to this Audiology #AudA2025 conference last Friday afternoon because the CEO of the non-profit hearing center I go to happens to be a really big f@#$ing deal" 😳

Some personal lore: I applied to study audiology after my music degree but was obviously rejected due to not meeting minimum prerequisites, was encouraged to take any 3rd year health subject.

Friend on Discord suggested shooting someone with a "hug cannon" and my brain was like "I HAVE TO DRAW THIS"
