Dr Beckmann's stain remover for carpets and rugs - they do a pet specific one now too but that's new enough that we haven't run down the last bottle of stain remover yet! Definitely an enzyme based cleaner for accidents or stroppy spraying.

Our cats prefer a folded towel to any cat bed they've had

they are fabulous colours but with that particular construction might work together better in stripes?

I don't think the silk is the issue - zooming in it looks like your yarns are single ply, and I'd be a lot more worried about that in colourwork. Plied gives it more body and more bounce and more grab unless you've got a *really* toothy single ply.

she's so proud of herself to have figured out that she can lean against the scratcher

I've been to the pub with one Doctor Who and accidentally flashed my tits at another one.

Predictably, Hamlet (god I love the verse in Hamlet)

Maybe less predictably, The Winter's Tale, which I'd never seen before I studied it for A Level and adored it

Very predictably, A Midsummer Night's Dream for the chaos

I finally got photos for #WIPWednesday! I may not have enough yarn for the shawl so it may end up frogged, but I'm going to keep knitting until I find out. #knitsky 🧢

I hope you find something that feels good to make as well as to wear!

I know nothing about him as a person and I'm no longer a MKAL person, but his designs are usually pretty inventive and he's definitely high profile

Fascinating to see that Stephen West is going to be at East Anglia Yarn Festival #EAYF feels like our local yarn festival is getting international recognition! #knitsky

I haven't seen 'The Rare Breed' so I'm off to add that to my watchlist now, thank you!

oh NO! I hope the sling is helping to give some relief.

I really, really wouldn't want Whedon and Baldwin involved. Surely Disney is aware of what bad publicity they'd get for involving Whedon, at least?

the insta stories have been after the podcast with Sean, at least. It would be a strange way to announce anything

I... don't know if I want this or not. And I *really* want to see Sean Maher back on my tv screen.

back at work after a wretched cold last week, nose smeared with germolene to soothe overblown skin. Mask up and wash your hands, folks, this year's virus is thoroughly unpleasant
