I'm a Wikimedian and I run the NZThesisProject from Ōtepoti Dunedin in Aotearoa New Zealand. OpenRefine, Wikidata, Wikipedia... all the Wikis!
Inventor of WikiWashiTape. According to skuas, I am too big to carry away and too alive.
I am knitting again after a few years off, I also crochet and like jigsaws. I read (speculative fiction esp), and bake but less than I used to as I’ve trained the teens up. I love cryptics but only The Times and can’t justify an online sub. Puzzle books aren’t the same! #SecretSantaAoNZ

I was surprised it took so long but realised it may have had to do with board meeting dates.

Ok but they should have used shots from The Hungry Games where Peter is bread

Spare a thought for all the makers frantically counting waking hours between now and posting day….

Sadly I see she’s out of KnitPros at the moment. Ah well, a-scavenging I go!

Yes I love your pictures too, and hunting for the owl makes me look at them more closely rather than just enjoying the overall vibe. Feel better soon.

I hardly used this cable cos it was a dud anyway, cable attached at an angle to the metal so stitches never fed smoothly…it’s actually good to have a reason to replace it! If vintage purls can help 🤞

I didn’t even know it was possible! Now I have to and scavenge the one other I know of in the house out of an active project or empty every cupboard in the house to figure out where the rest went!

That’s is so cute!

Yep. If the government restrict abortion rights or access to contraception will Labour leave it to individual women MPs to speak out? We are watching the Labour leadership fail very badly rn and can have no faith they’ll stand up for healthcare rights.

Ah. Whereas yesterday I could find neither of those and was forced to fish my teabag out with a knife (of which there were plenty)
