The rose from a cutting from my friend that we planted in September has bloomed! It doesn’t look like any rose I’ve ever seen though! 🌹🌱

Tulip and Clover brand crochet hooks are my favourites. During a recent trip to Japan I realised I’ve been paying way too much for them all this while. Clover ¥650 -> $16.90 NZD Tulip Etimo ¥900 -> $19.50 NZD Is NZ an anomaly? 🧶

One of the cool things I saw in Japan that I didn’t buy. A blue Japanese dinosaur ceramic plate casually sitting next to a pile of under plates under a table in an Osaka market (hence the odd angle) 🦕

I went out of my comfort zone a bit and made this little ceramic dinosaur! It’s a sinosauropteryx, one of the few dinosaurs we actually know the color of! I just love their fluffy, red striped tails. This little guy will be available this Friday, January 17th at 12pm Eastern!

Made my first pompom and added it to the crochet ribbed winter hat I made earlier. It’s a bit small but cute. Probably needs a trim too. 🧶

Went looking for mechanical keyboards in Japan. ⌨️ they have a huge collection compared to where I live. Only problem is most of them were Japaneses language keyboards. Not many secondhand ones either. #MechanicalKeyboards

After struggling with the Italian cast-on for sooo long I finally settled on an alternating cable cast-on for my ribbed hat. It looks a lot more structured and I’m able to keep track of it better so it doesn’t get all twisted up when using the magic loop technique. #knitting 🧶

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart! It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources. Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75... #tutorial Hope someone finds it useful!

Baby Blanket finally done! It’s 65cm x 65cm. I crocheted a 5 stitch ribbing for the edge instead of the one recommended by the pattern. 🧶

Quality long read. One of the many takeaways is that these companies are often lead by people who are in no way equipped to deal with the social and ethical ramifications of their products.

Making a baby blanket for our neighbours 1 month old. Using this pattern: https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-wildflower-blanket/ Really like the texture, but it’s taking a lot longer than expected! 🧶

I learnt this weekend that it’s really easy to crack a ‘cheap’ combination bike lock by following the instructions on the internet. Pictured is T’s bike lock that I managed to open on the 1st try using one set of instructions. He’d lost the combination for few years ago. Buy better locks people!

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are. www.wheresyoured.at/killingfaceb...

Growing luffa has been a bit of a struggle this spring. Seedlings got eaten by slugs/snails, then most of the seeds we bought failed to germinate. Currently have 3 seedlings left. We were shocked when little guy decided to flower. Is this too early? It has only 1-2 leaves. 🌱 #NZGardening

🧵 During the pandemic we decided make five wide flowerbeds along the edges of our lawn. Our criteria was low $ and I wanted a lot of perennial color. I’d grown veggies for 15 years but my experience with flowers was buying assorted annuals and perennials in pots and crossing my fingers 🤞🌱

Did you know in 2012 I wrote and illustrated a book? It's a 100% factual book about prehistoric vegetables, full of very accurate illustrations of these marvellous beasts. All of the book's profits go towards Lung Cancer research. Get your copy here: bit.ly/1JuQqgG
