I knit this child's sweater with the statistic "only 4% of all mammals on Earth are wild". All those cute animals on children's clothing misrepresent the biodiversity of wildlife left on their planet. It's not cute. 🧶

Last week, Barbastelle Conservation Officer Cathy was out with @NRW’s Land Management team, setting up passive bat detectors around St David’s — Wales’ smallest city. We’re excited to learn more about the winter activity of some of the area’s rarer bat species — hopefully including barbastelles!

When you haven’t figured out photoshop but you want to play with composition, scissors and tape are your friends. Working on a new piece using cutouts of my own photos. It’s like being a kid again :) #SciArt

Got a bag from Purl’s to carry multiple project bags and do a little advertising for them. Plus I love the idea of grouping fibers this way. Because, SCIENCE. #PurlsYarnEmpirium #Knitting #Yarn 🧶

All the pictures I've seen of book-inspired granny squares got me to do some crochet for once! Currently reading A Hat Full of Sky which was my first intro to Discworld a long time ago and had the perfect yarn to go with it 🧶

Wearing your handmade clothes is such a powerful type of self care! 🧶 You’re not only wearing something you like, but you’re also putting on a piece you spent hours mindfully making, just as you wanted it. And let’s not forget that knits are usually also very cozy ♥️ #knitsky #knitting #handmade
