This weekend I got to glaze all of the pots I made over the last 8 weeks. Glaze is interesting. I’m curious to see how the little imperfections in the glaze surface turn out (like where I was using tongs to hold the pot while I dipped).

Images of the glaze and the different colour variants of the finished product are attached for reference.

I LOVE the colour of the red pre-fired glaze, especially when it’s dried matte on the pot. I wonder if I could ever get that in a fired product…

The white matte glaze used on the two left-most pots is not shown.

CouriersPlease!!

1. Why are you directing me to the AI chat bot for something that should be a form?

2. If you’re going to direct me to the AI chat bot, make sure it works!

Weeks 2 and 3! The ones from week 3 we kept and will trim this week.

(The one with the X isn’t mine)

Hurry up and dry already!!

Mostly blocked to pin out the collar. My first raglan (a green one) has a collar that is a bit tight (probably needs more blocking).

My second (a navy one) has a collar that’s waaaay too big (probably a cow neck by design?).

Hopefully this one will come out okay and won’t constantly touch my neck 😅 considering that the rest of the sweater is a bit big for me.

I did pot! (My first pottery class in an 8-week course 😃).

Hoping that the second one wasn’t a fluke 😅

Slowly getting back into the gym… slowly…

Please excuse the ‘concentrating on taking a selfie’ face 😂

Got through about an inch tonight while watching a couple of episodes of Bake Off.

Three inches of grey done, only another six or seven before starting the ribbing!

Also getting the colour right in this photo was a pain. But this is pretty close :)

Update! I finally got some more time to work on this, and finally I’m at the part where it transitions to just the grey for the rest of the body 🎉🎉🎉

This week is really busy, and maybe next week, but hopefully I get a few quiet nights and can smash out some rounds 😀

It’s all just plain knit from here to the ribbing, but alternate rows have a single slipped stitch at the beginning of round and middle of round. Going to be a pain to remember, but probably not very noticeable if I forget 😊

After two and a half YEARS my ceiling will finally be getting fixed tomorrow 🎉🎉🎉

I can finally get a new ceiling fan, and replace the downlights, and get an electrician in to do the laundry-list of electrical work I want done.

Want to do a meme, but I’m too lazy so:

STOP DOING DATE-TIME FORMATS

Time was not meant to be measured!

Look at what they’ve been demanding your respect for all this time!

Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged!
