Poor Milo is still struggling with his transition to being a pampered house cat. It hurts knowing he doesn’t yet trust us enough to let his guard down and relax. /joke https://www.instagram.com/p/CoveXgyof6-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look at those little ink-splattered toe beans https://www.instagram.com/p/CoajzZLM8Ws/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

K2 picked out this fuzzy yarn and pompom and requested a hat. I had enough leftover for a cowl and still have 30/100g left. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSoZ5vITie/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Seanan McGuire broke my heart at least ten times in the 4hrs it took to read Lost in the Moment and Found, and at least a dozen more in the half hour since. This isn’t my doorway, this isn’t my child, why does it hurt so much? The stand-alones in this series are all beautifully, heart breakingly, amazing. I can’t wait to see what comes next. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQkWKmohCC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I Hope you’re not tired of snow pictures because I will never tire of taking them. I have never seen snow like this in Scotland 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CngpBMNITbC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy birthday to this little Rainbow who is six years old today https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSYGVUIcqR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First finished book of the year: Raven Tower by Anne Leckie (reread). A fantasy retelling of Hamlet where the Hamlet-ness of it all is largely set dressing. Told mostly in second person, or rather first person but that person is narrating the story to one of the characters, so it reads as mostly second person. I don’t like the ending. It’s very shakespearien, with everything suddenly being wrapped up in the last five minutes, but I find the bow it’s tied up into unsatisfying. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFt-9yoVGa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My view right now. Milo claims he’s found my true purpose in life, to be a cat bed. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_lmagIAHv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I collected both years of @hennypennymakes ‘ colour therapy scrappy minis club, I think it’s time to finally put the blanket together. One set of pink is already a column for a northeasterly blanket so I guess I’ll just keep working on that. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6Y-8Nop2q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My main Christmas present this year was a cast iron Dutch oven in a loaf shape! So excited for this the first loaf and grateful to my neighbour who bought bread flour for me when I ran out 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzkEYKIpyv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My morning started with a jolt of adrenaline- a bush crashed through our garden wall 🫣 (everyone is okay, didn’t even damage the hedges) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyTrJwoe_z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Temperatures are well above freezing even overnight this week, but Milo is now pushing through the door and trotting to the bed at night. We will make a pampered housecat of him yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbEXHGIgza/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finished Speedy Selbu mittens by @skeindeer in the leftover @thewoolbrokers worsted Aran from my Vinterskov pullover. These knit up so fast and I got to wear them in the school run today 🥰 last two pictures were taken last night before I washed them and left them to dry on a radiator. #speedyselbumittens #rustickal #jamiesonandsmith https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJ5Ss-ISYw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
