Ellie is wearing a laboriously assembled crocheted cardigan made of black and white granny squares with rainbow centres and rainbow striped sleeves. No loose ends are visible.
Six items in Ellie's etsy shop - three tea towels for snooker, football and taskmaster plus two patches (one inscrutable reference to Eurovision in Liverpool and one podcast injoke) and a snooker themed coaster
Box art for the GeForce6 graphics card showing what Nvidia used to put on their products before they became COWARDS. This box shows an eagle/angel lady in a red draped bikini holding a ball of plasma in a storm and has a badge denoting that Far Cry is included
A screenshot of the etsy listing for the Taskmaster teatowel, showing the details of each series and the final score on a lovely little watercolour task note. A big gold pineapple sits alongside but is not part of the purchase.
A table showing Ellie's classification of genre - the rows are 'pop, rock, dance, R&B, rap' and the columns are 'ballad, anthem, banger'
Screenshot of Ellie's work on a chart depicting the Philips Circle Pattern test card. She's not put the back stitch in yet but you can already see this is going to be one heck of a sew
Ellie shows off a shaggy, bright pink demi mullet, with an off the shoulder black top, pink sports bra and necklace celebrating the winner of the last edition of the song contest she really wants to think about. Can she simply bright pink lipstick her way through this? Or will there be tears?
A moderately elaborate beadwork and felt 3D embroidery of a snooker table set up for a fresh frame.
The speech from a de-raged Rimmer about how to tackle the ravenous genetically engineered polymorph that is trying to eat them all. RIMMER: Well, that's certainly an option, David, yes. Erm, but here's my proposal: Let's get tough. The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major -- and I mean _major_ -- leaflet campaign, and while it's reeling from that, we'd follow up with a {whist} drive, a car boot sale, some street theatre and possibly even some benefit concerts. OK? Now, if that's not enough, I'm sorry, it's time for the T-shirts:

Tess the calico cat sits amongst a flower bed, partially obscured by red tulips. The low sun is washing out the picture, which combined with the cat's expression gives the photo a pensive tone.
A white alpaca in a field, facing the camera with its fringe entirely covering its eyes. A second alpaca faces away from the camera and eats some grass.
Two green square patches on a gold background, with a design of red, black, yellow, green, brown, blue and pink circles representing the order of pots in a 147 maximum break

The green room seating at BenidormFest 2024 with no-one sitting in it yet. You can see eight semi circular sofas with lots of linear lighting surrounding it. You cannot see that it is all taking place in a municipal sports hall.
