My Varg cardigan, (nearly) finished last night - just needs buttons. Washed and blocking..
No seaming, every part consists of picked up stitches from the two shoulder panels

I can hear my eldest son chatting online and laughing A LOT!
It's nice to hear him happy, but his laugh is the bastard offspring of Roland Rat and Blakey from On the Buses.

It's been a while since I posted anything about #knitting, but last night I finished the second sleeve and here it is ready to sew in the ends, block and assemble
Pattern is Fell By Martin Storey
I didn't care for the fish motif so replaced that with the other motifs

Happy Anita Bryant pie day
On this day, anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was pied in the face by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist.
Bryant had declared about homosexuality “I will lead such a crusade to stop it as this country has not seen before.”
Never show tolerance to the intolerant

Ghosts in popular culture and folklore became translucent due to new optical shows, like phantasmagoria and magic lantern that projected luminous images.

Well, well well, there were two things I didn't expect from todays #TheArchers.

I found out what Justin Trudeau has been up to.
He traveled back to the 1980s to appear in a film of Agatha Christies Ten little Indians (now known as "And then there were none").
