This week's #ShowMeYourKnitting and conveniently today's museum knitting is socks!
It's fun to do bright colours for gift knits because I never really wear them myself

A meme post with two pie charts. chart one -  Nobody will remember - your salary, how busy you were, how many hours you worked, how many Gucci bags you owned. People will remember - how much you knew about bats, the time you spent learning about bats, if you knew facts about bats that made them smile, if they learned to love bats because of you.

Mirror selfie of SB wearing a hand knit jumper that is close to completion. The main colour is ivy green and there are repeated abstract fair isle motifs in brown and beige forming horizontal stripes across the jumper.
