Hello #crochet Bluesky/ #crochetsky - I really enjoy watching a whole bunch of crochet YouTubers already, but if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. I'm old now and more into comfy/cosy than high adrenaline vlogging 😊

A bowl of noodles with veggies and mushrooms.

One of my weekend highlights was a chap selling homegrown mushrooms at very good prices 🍄‍🟫

There’s something very liberating about wearing wellies with regular clothes. #splishsplash

The short story collection ‘Unquiet Guests’ edited by Dan Coxon.

My book preorder came in early and I had some good news today, so I’m going to enjoy wine and date night tonight ☺️

I love the novel so much, but both stand on their own!

This looks so silly and fun.

It's usually a bit of a John Carpenter-fest for me. It has to include Prince of Darkness, Halloween (obvs) and The Fog. (I watch The Thing on NYE.) I like to rewatch the Mike Flanagan Hill House series. Also gotta do Hocus Pocus. There are usually a few ghost story events/shows here and there too.

Thank you, it definitely did!!

This is really pretty and has inspired me to do something similar with all my cotton scraps/leftovers 🙂

Big, sad feelings today. Feelings that I suspect can only be mitigated by a large pasta dinner, a Hammer Horror session, and crochet.

A library display unit with a sign that says ‘ghostly reads’. There is Barrowbeck, Thin Air, and others.

Excellent spoopy season display in the library!

Eeeeee, I've ordered mine.

These are beautiful, and the colour organisation is very pleasing 😊

It's the best month of the year!

Shocking red: behind the scenes on classic horror Don’t Look Now – in pictures Released in 1973, Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now is regularly acclaimed as a high point of British cinema, and a new book collects hundreds of images from the film’s production, many of them previously...

Funnily enough my boss and I were explaining (or trying to explain) Roger Mellie’s Profanisaurus to a younger colleague today. Without breaching our EDI policy.

Thank you!!

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Very insect-friendly! Thank you! 🙂

A faux pinned butterfly/moth/bug display all made from crochet. There’s a luna moth, a red admiral butterfly and a jewel beetle.

A silly l’il crochet thing I did for a competition at work 🧶 🦋

This is actually true and accurate and valuable advice. I’m glad my relationship with my espresso machine recovered.

I think this might be next on the To Make list... www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Here’s some calming (?) West Yorkshire rain for you. This spot always relaxes me (so long as I have my wellies and raincoat.)

(And pay HMRC too.)

I work full time but I also have a biz on the side. I'm waiting to see if a whopping contract will come in any day now. If it does, I can book myself onto some excellent training, buy a fancy yarn advent calendar, and possibly go to Edinburgh for Christmas. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Olaus Magnus's 1539 map of Scandinavia is full of the wonderful and the plain weird. Sea monsters and maelstroms attack ships while on land people travel in reindeer-drawn carriages and fish through the ice. The map was the first to accurately depict land and give place-names. @bodleian.ox.ac.uk
