A predominantly white knitted fabric swatch with green, red and blue stitches in a stripey pattern
This is what the reverse looks like. Unlike colourwork knitted just on the main bed of the knitting machine, there are no floats to catch on things!
A swatch of knitted fabric - a white background with a spiral or lower case e pattern in green, pale blue and red
Been experimenting with my colour changer on my knitting machine this morning. After numerous attempts and some swearing, I finally knitted a swatch. If I can figure out how to make larger pieces with some shaping, just think of all the exciting garments I could make!
Snap! We had macaroni cheese for tea tonight. It was the best
I've been working a lot lately and I'm really knackered, so naturally this evening the washing machine decided to empty itself all over the kitchen floor. In retaliation I am going to withhold limescale remover for the next three washes. Checkmate, washing machine!
I will never stop finding this funny. And I am compelled to do some version of it every time I travel from Ely to Peterborough by train.
The station platform in the town of March. There are ramps and signage, and a bricked up archway
Can't believe we're in March already
A roadside advertising sign for a McDonald's and a Hand Car Wash; at the bottom of the sign it says "A Development By Pigeon"
I don't wish to alarm anyone, but pigeons now seem to be able to build McDonald's so that we'll be tempted to buy French fries which will inevitably be dropped in the car park for them to feast on And then they'll poo on our cars so we have to use their car wash.
Stop making me believe in my own self worth and that I deserve to have nice things! (Ordered)
Been watching a lot of winter Olympics. Been annoying my significant other by calling figure skating "finger skating" and when they complain I say it's because you have to be careful not to skate over anyone's fingers.
She does like long walks in the countryside though
My favourite thing about dogs traditionally being referred to as 'Man's best friend' is adverts that beg me to treat my best friend to a meaty plate of natural goodness or to take care of my best friend with a worming treatment. Meanwhile my best friend actually prefers prosecco or a nice cup of tea

I was assigned Christmas Tree at birth but some days I feel more like one of those games where you have to catch a ball in a cup
I'm doing an online version of my show on Sunday 7th December at 7pm - tickets go on sale tomorrow morning to my mailing list so if you're not on there already, sign up now! bit.ly/MattGreenMailingList Thanks!
And so once again it's time for my annual Tiktok detox - can't risk being Whammed so no mindless scrolling dumb videos for me until I hear it in a shop (it's unlikely I'll beat last year's 2pm on December 24th though!)
Thank you Cambridge! A lovely show at @cambridgejunction.bsky.social - thank you very much to everyone there! Just 5 shows left now - next one is Southampton on Saturday…
Had a nice evening out in Cambridge watching @mattgreencomedy.com - go see him if you live near one of the places he's visiting on the rest of his tour, and you like lefty woke clever comedians (which clearly you do or you wouldn't be following me lol)
I am very grateful that of my two bags, the one that got soaked was the one that didn't contain my laptop and several hundred sheets of origami paper for a workshop tomorrow
My water bottle leaked (I failed to secure the lid of my water bottle adequately) and so all my stuff got wet and it meant I couldn't get any work done on this train because I was dealing with wet stuff, and to add insult to injury I forgot to bring my knitting with me so I can't knit to de-stress
Oh crap, I'm in trouble. The new printer only does monochrome and doesn't have a scanner, so I was planning to keep the old one. Would it be ok if I put them in different rooms, or will the new printer know?
O no... I bought a printer yesterday, picking it up tomorrow. Are there offerings I should make or runes of protection I can prepare today?
Seven balls of sock yarn in assorted colours
Please enjoy this photograph of all the sock yarn I've bought since I said I had too much sock yarn and should knit some of it up before buying any more
Apparently I also should be wearing my mouth guard. And I'll get used to it if I just wear it more, and it won't be a horrible alien object in my mouth that makes sleep impossible. So that's nice to know.
Went to the dentist this morning. I, along with every other person in the world, don't floss often enough. But at least now I don't have to think about how terrible a person that makes me, at least for the next six months.
Hurrah for kettle!
Randhawa said: “I’m on top of the world right now. I feel great. Like I could run a marathon, or defeat God in single combat – hang on a minute! I forgot to add those things to my to-do list. I’ll put them both under ‘Priority’.”
It's a sign of how far I've come in my machine knitting journey that making a sock is routine now. My first attempts at socks nearly 2 years ago went disastrously and hilariously wrong! Mainly because I was trying to run before I could walk, but I am stubborn and won't be told I can't do something!
A pair of stripey socks with blue, green, yellow and red. Some yarn ends still need weaving in.
Done quite a lot of experimental knitting stuff lately - I can now load pictures from my laptop to my Brother Electronic machine, which opens up many possibilities for exciting picture knitting. Today though I just fancied something routine so I finished off a pair of stripey socks.
It's just the one swan actually
Ok so we're in a pub for lunch. Important context: the pub is called "The Swan". Someone at the next table ordered the Swan Burger... They were asked "chicken or beef?" and I'm so disappointed they didn't say "no, swan!"
