A beautiful sunrise in the North East of England, with deep oranges and yellows, and gentle pinks in the clouds with some light blue sky peeking through.
Text reads: ‘let me get this straight depression/anxiety/adhd/chronic illness will make me not have the energy to take care of myself, but the only way for me to feel better is to take care of myself? What a scam’. Dear reader: it is a total scam 🫠
Tracey is holding a jumper WIP on circular needles in her left hand, index finger held out continental style. The needles are pink, and there’s a bauble stitch marker filled with blue glitter hanging off a cat head shaped ring on the left needle. The jumper is being knitted in hand dyed yarn held double - one strand of aqua blue fingering weight Merino/Mohair brushed singles, and one strand of charcoal grey lace Mohair/Silk, creating a mottled effect (is mottled the right word? I dunno but it’ll suffice! 🥰). There’s a mix of lace pattern and stockinette in the knitted fabric. Underneath the WIP is Tracey’s recently finished Habitation Throw, which is knitted in brightly coloured stripes using scraps of DK.
A close up of a cosy knitted blanket, riotous in colour. There are thin stripes of various different bright colourways, in no order whatsoever, reflecting the chaotic neon brain I have inside my head 🌈
Tracey is holding some knitting on circular needles in her left hand - the colours are marled together, moving from blues and pinks into pink and yellow, then yellow and black, then black and coral pink.
