Hello! 👋

Crochet and octopuses you say? In that case, Paul says “hello” too. 🐙

Two hat posts in one day! I just realised I had a good Before/After demonstration of how my hats shrink and reshape themselves after they are pulled/felted.

I call this hat my Radagast hat! Technically I guess it's Lord of the Rings fanart, though I didn't decide it was Radagast's hat until it turned out so fluffy after felting. I mostly knitted it during Worldcon in Chicago this year, lots of writing wisdom was knitted into this hat.

looks great!!

@knitting Trying out a new yarn source and tried out a new shape for my hats, this one shrank pretty well! #knitting #felting #wizardhat #redwizardhats

Flashback a year to the luckiest photo I ever took. For five years I had been using a Sony super zoom camera and then someone graciously gifted me w the Nikon 200-500. I put it on a D500 body and got this tiger swallowtail on my first day. No cropping—this was the composition straight out of the camera. It was meant to be!

#knitting I knitted this cuddly wombat for my grandson in Australia.

This wizard hat feels more like a sea anemone than a hat just now...

Hello there! I should do an Introductory post, or a proper hatpost, but for now here's what I'm working on just now! How many hats am I making at once? Just the one! I haven't worked with multiple colours at obce very often, so I'm hoping this goes well!! This will be a very special hat, I'm hoping. Remind me to update this when I've done more of it!
