Knotty Knights Creates

I refuse to live in fear and dysregulation.

Text on a background of a faded photo of colourful yarns. Text reads "social media break: I'm exhausted and need to reset my central nervous system. So I'm going to take at least a week off. Hopefully see you all soon" there's a sparkly love heart at the end of the text.

Chronic health issues + some extra health issues in the past few months + disability benefits worries + the general dystopian crap going on in the UK and the rest of the world. Rest is rebellion right?! I need a break and to focus on self care, kindness and compassion.

Thank you! 😊

Ooh, good luck for the move!!

Good luck relearning. YouTube is your friend lol. When I first started I had to go on YouTube to look up the basics for every project 😂 Hope you enjoy making the donkey!

Not that much of a beginner then!!

We all start somewhere! My first project was an amigurumi ghost - it was full of holes 😂 I still have it somewhere. Scarves and basic amigurumi were my staples for a bit as to me they're the simplest things to do.

It was! The Tunisian crochet is so relaxing 😊

Slipknot and stitch 🤟🏻🧶

It's a heavy metal #crochet session today! I've not picked up this Tunisian crochet project for a bit - it's such a relaxing project to work on 😊

Yeah there's a lot of politics on here and it's hard to avoid. My central nervous system isn't good with it either - I get overwhelmed!

Ooh, that's gorgeous work!!

Beautiful! Love the yarn choice!

It's a beauty! 💖

Thanks! It's a hand dyed bamboo/linen from Rainbow Fusions. I love my hand dyed yarn!

I promise I will post some finished #crochet soon! But in the meantime here's another #wip I started 😂

I'm remaking the Shark Tank top as I wasn't happy with it the first time - I'll be altering it to hopefully fit my body better 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I just love this yarn and stitch combo so I have to try! 🧶

I get that it sucks. But 14 year old cries shouldn't be a headline!! I'm pretty sure I cried a lot at that age and it never got in the papers 😂 Yes hopefully a life lesson - not the one the paper seems to put across (that it's mean not to give freebies to people if they cry)

People on socials can be really judgemental. I feel we should all remember that you never know what's going on in someone's life and to be kind. Not all of us are able - or even want to - be vocal on social media. It's not the only way to fight. And honestly I don't have the energy for it.

Wtf? The man having the epileptic fit was just an inconvenience to the girl who didn't get a free burger because she didn't pay attention to the fact she needed a leaflet. Well boohoo. I'm pretty sure the guy who had a fit had a worse time of it (and presumably also didn't get a burger?)

Omg I used to have a Togepi toy (in my 20s of course! 😂) and if you pressed it's tummy it made the sound! This makes me want one again - it's so cute!

That's so cute she came to you for help! 🥰

Thanks! It's weird about Ko-fi 😕

Don't know if I'm just being dumb but I can't even find a search function on there to find you 😬

This is awesome! I went looking in your bio for your Etsy and Ko-fi links though and they're not there. You should stick them in there for easy access 😊

This is such a cool shrug!! 💖🧶

I'm a dope, I completely misread your post 😂 I blame brain fog...
