Hats for #showmeyourknits I finished my orange and purple drops air hat - super warm and soft, but itchy on my neck, so hair down is best. The other hat is crochet, but I love how the toadstool pompom came out. #knitSky #crochet #pompom

I made myself a wool advent calendar because it seems they are mostly all sold out already! Going to spend December spinning either a kaleidoscope of joy or something that makes people's eyes bleed. Exciting either way! nicolaschofield.com/diy-fibre-ad... #handspinning #wool #fiberart

A new hat to try out Drops Air (verdict - should be ok for my head, but too itchy to go anywhere near my neck!) I've had the pompom for a few years and was so excited about how perfectly it went with these colours, I attached it before the hat was even finished 😅 #WIPwednesday #knitsky

The most fun thing ever to randomly see

Artists - quote your art with dramatic lighting I thought I didn't have anything, but then remembered this watercolour illustration! #kidlitart #illustration #watercolor

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

We have sycamore, horse chestnut, and pine trees on our street and my daughter likes collecting the seeds on our walk to school so we have a box full now. Just missing some acorns! We tried planting a few horse chestnuts in a pot, but I think a squirrel dug them up. #kidlitart #autumn

A few people suggested pairing it with another yarn. I didn't have anything that worked so I spun up a bit of bright blue. I think these will be great together! #knitsky #handspinning

This week I've been playing with charcoal - did you know you can paint with it?! This was the first parcel opened of my #DIYArtAdvent nicolaschofield.com/charcoal/ #charcoal #art

Dusted off my spinning wheel today and some random oddments of dyed wool. Going for a little tiny skein of something with a dark and 80s vibe 😎 #spinningwheel #handspun #yarnspinning

Socks for #showmeyourknits I recently finished my first pair of socks that fit well enough to actually wear them like normal socks! It was A LOT of trial and error over several years 😅 #knitsky

I was going over some of the trends/eras of illustration with my students today and Corporate Memphis created the most conversation. It was compared to a business man in a happy face mask, Arial & pop music. Good in contexts like brightening up a train station, bad in masking the cruelness of tech.

It was at that very moment that Sarah thought maybe, just maybe, she had misunderstood the plan for the group costume. Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m Rachelle, an author/illustrator who loves a good dad joke and a delightfully flawed character. See more of my work at rachelleallan.com

I lost my iPad pro charger and a new one is £58 😮 And that's nowhere near the most expensive option. Just the standard charger + cable.

Some old ones for #batmanday

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.
