My collection of new designs 😁 These are all created using @thehousedye ‘Red Weed’ (a gorgeous fiery gradient) and ‘Forget Me Not’ (the still glowing ash left after the fire 😁). I’m excited to play with these with other colours 😁

Hot off my needle 😁

New design? This one is specifically created to go with s shawl with those stripes and those two yarns. Does it work?

It was on paper, circa late 1980s.

It was Star Trek.

I have read fanfic since on alt.startrek.creative (newsgroup), Geocities, Webrings, Yahoo Groups, Live Journal, Ff.net, multiple fandom specific archives - Stargate Novel Archive, Leviathan, Supernaturalville, and, of course, Ao3. Have written fanfic for most of those formats, too.

I have lived a good chunk of its recent history 😁 It’s been a ride 🤪

Please participate in my research (also, if you say other, please put it in the tags/comments !)

Okay, I might be obsessing a little about this pattern 😁 I feel beyond the completed version, I could derive many other patterns from it. Check out the third piccy here. I was tempted to leave it unstitched partially as I really like it like this. Experiments will happen. Plus this glorious yarn with sparkles is from @dovedalecreations and I adore it. Have you seen her sparkle yarns? It’s not to be missed! Visit @skein.machine I know they have some available. They also have @thehousedye sparkle yarn which I have only recently discovered and need to acquire more. Love da sparkles! All da sparkles!

See this red thing? It just took out our power with a very big bang. SA Power Networks, likely heavily overworked, says power may be restored around 5am tomorrow morning.

I’m going to bed 🤪🥱

Wow! These are amazing! It is one thing to have them in your head, but it is amazing to actually see them 😁💚 Thank you so much for all your hard work on these. Fantastic art!

‘Virgil, stop waving at Alex.’

The engineer shrugs and smirks. “He’s waving at me.”

“Any excuse.”

A fanboy sigh as he stares at the artwork. “You better believe it.”

It’s taken ages working on and off but it’s finally finished!!

Each of these lovely characters belong to equally lovely people!

The desert has had more rain than Adelaide in the last six months.

Ironically, a good chunk of that water in Queensland is now draining into South Australia’s desert basin in Kati Thanda / Lake Eyre.

Wow!

!!!!!FishTank Weekend 2025!!!!!

Well, all you squidlets and Virguosos welcomed the idea of a FishTank weekend this year - enough to keep the green and yellow flying. Join me (if you'd like) in celebrating all the FishTank things!

"Oh, but Gavii, tell me more," you ask? Why of course.

FishTank? Yes, Fishtank, the name we use in the thunderfam for the brother relationship of Virgil and Gordon.

When is FishTank Weekend? This year it’ll run from Friday, May 16th through Sunday, May 18th. The significance of the date? Loosely calculated as the day between their birthdays, but honestly any excuse 💚💛 I'll set up some posts and QOTDs as early as my Thursday night to launch the weekend for some of you all in earlier time zones.

If you are also participating in The Thunderversary event @thunderversary-rewatch-party, the episodes that week will be: Heavy Metal, Falling Skies, and Ricochet.

How do I celebrate FishTank Weekend? Like last year, we are releasing a series of prompts (see below) in advance. If they inspire you to write or create art to post that weekend, that would be amazing! Fic, Reblogs, Recs, and Art are welcome and appreciated at any time, but especially during Fishtank Weekend. Anything’s welcome, so don’t forget mood boards, music, head canons. Whatever you can think of!

I’m not interested in FishTank: *hugs* totally fine. Our tags this year will be #fishtankweekend and #fishtankweekend2025 if you want to block them. Folks participating - please use them :)

Questions: Reblog, comment, or you are also welcome to reach out to me directly.

@sians_yarns mini skeins plus ‘Groovy Grape’ 😁 New design 😁

[gumnut-logic]

The House Dye ‘Cosmic Pasta’ 😁💚💚💚 I went a little nuts with this gorgeous ray of colour 😁 New card designs, sashiko inspired, this yarn is just stunning. These will be available for sale at Skein Machine next week 😁

[gumnut-logic]

The design begins to appear 😁 This is a lot of work (400+ punched holes in card) but lots of fun 😁 Yarn is the lovely @thehousedye ‘Cosmic Pasta’, my current obsession 😁

[gumnut-logic]

Gotta love SA 😁 Probably driven past your house at some point 😁

Most people get fed up when people are like "wow, you're from X? My sister in law's friend is from X! Do you know each other?" but the thing about South Australia is our population is so low that whenever I learn someone is from South Australia I'm like "oh, I wonder if we know each other."

[gumnut-logic]

Playing with sashiko 😁

[gumnut-logic]

These are @dovedalecreations hand-dyed yarn 😁 The one on the left is ‘Hibiscus’, and on the right is one of their many gorgeous mini skeins 😁

[gumnut-logic]

I think I’ve finally sorted out how the centre works best 😁 This one has petals of @craft_by_bella ‘Creativity’ with a centre of @sians_yarns Yellow, Fiori dark red and Japanese seed beads 😁
