Last month I had the very great honour of being the Official Blogger for the second meeting of Laydeez Do Comics Bristol. I documented the evening’s talks in comics form, and you can now read them on the Laydeez Do Comics blog.
Bake Off themed birthday cake (dragging it out, it was actually yesterday, and this is technically the third cake). I have been super spoiled.

It's delicious.
Jack wants a treat, and so do I!

I conquered the pesky Burnside Bibs! To be honest, after the backside incident I think I overcompensated and they are now a bit big back there. But they are out of the naughty corner, they are finished, and they are comfortable. Now can I make a dress?

I made a podcast! It features a little drawing for @thismustbesonja, a lot of designing and knitting for @blackeryarns, some crazy exciting news about my book, and a bit of Jack (especially if you watch right to the end 🐶)
It's up on YouTube now.

Was just looking through old photos and found this cracking action shot of me and Jack from last winter! 💛

Ages ago, someone asked permission to make my "Recovery Is..." artwork into bookmarks for their twelve step group. Of course I said yes, but I forgot about it until a few arrived in the post today.

They did a beautiful job and I love them! This piece is still as poignant for me as the day I made it. I was thinking I might get some of these made for my etsy shop.

After a long hot summer of unsatisfactory splooshing, today we struck wild swimming gold 👌

Saturdays are for swatches I should not be swatching.

This year at work I've helped design a yarn inspired by one of my favourite landscapes. I've picked a palette of all my favourite colours, and been the first person ever to knit with it. I've spent the last few months designing patterns for this dream of a yarn, and I am so excited to share them with you in two weeks' time!

It's @blackeryarns limited edition birthday yarn, #blackeryarnstor
Normally I don't mix my day job and my creative practice, but if you've been wondering why I've been so quiet here...it's because the lines have become a little blurry lately!
I have been up to my ears designing my first knitwear and crochet collection. I think most of you already know where I work, but if you don't, you soon will 😂
P.s. This is only half the pile, but it is not all my own handiwork. Thank goodness for wonderful sample knitters and crocheters ❤
Dog on a rock.
A perfect evening for a walk in the woods 🌿
Painstakingly cut, pinned, repinned, pattern matched and french seamed the whole thing. Then realised I had cut out the wrong pattern piece, it doesn't fit and I need to unpick it all and start over.
