For people in the UK, I highly recommend The Real Cheese Project. Every month you get a really interesting cheese, delicious shortbread, and a sample of something to pair with the cheese. This month was an amazing blue cheese, rosemary shortbread, and a little pot of marmalade.

Discover Britain's artisan cheeses, support local cheesemakers, and celebrate authentic, hand-crafted cheese from farm to table.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

Recently made a baby surprise jacket. Always great fun, if mind-bending! Did a crochet seam at the shoulders and icord all the way round to match. And once again my grandmother's button box produced the ideal buttons. I swear that tin is magic! #ShowMeYourKnits

Why do I do these things to myself? Middle of a heatwave and yesterday I did my mandatory fire safety training. Now today my 🧶 crochet project is fire themed! Off to take a break to eat ice cream and think cold thoughts!

I've made three jumpers for my dad, but can only find pics of two. I knit the grey one first, and have spent the last 9 years getting plenty of darning practice because he wears it so much! For the blue one, I used a Tin Can Knits pattern but designed the colourwork myself. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

My two latest finished objects, given together as a birthday gift. Really enjoyed the fiddly crochet, though there was some cursing throughout. And I'm loving bookbinding!🧶
