The love letter that Hannah left for me on my bed. 

The man who knits the amazing landscape jumpers

Booking Primavera tickets! Here’s to the first holiday booked in 2017. I hope there are many more.


A breakfast date with Holly before her honeymoon. Double coffee and an almond croissant and three hugs.

A hectic but quite fun day, doing four people’s jobs. The caffeine and mystery dessert left by Gust helped. Pretty sure it had alcohol in it. 

My Secret Santa present from my housemate. He knitted me my vulva design! I was completely blown away – what an amazing and thoughtful (and time consuming) gift!


A night of knitting, pizza, mulled wine and Christmas songs. Starting with this beautiful pike of unraveled wool.

Going to see my brilliant friend’s beautiful pop up shop, selling all the ethical, sustainable and genuinely beautiful things. That’s pretty much all my Christmas shopping done. (It’s called This Because and it’s on Broadwick Street, Soho. You should go.)

Wandering around And Other Stories.

Discussing knitting out your vagina with my housemates.

Getting up close with some wild Keas in Arthur’s Pass.
Buying some knitting needles and wool to knit hats. Third time lucky. Hopefully. How many more ways can I mess up a simple hat?
Having a shower in the campervan. My very first campervan shower. It was good. A bit cramped but good.
