Really looking forward to watching the weather knitting project from @porridgebrain unfold in 2021. Reminds me, I had better close my laptop soon and get going with my own weather crochet project....I have 8 days to do! 🧶🌍🧣🌦❄️💨☂️@educrochet #educrochet https://twitter.com/porridgebrain/status/1347839567446081537

I've spent the last few days experimenting with different designs for this year's weather knitting and I think I finally found The One last night. It uses the same colours as my last scarf, but will look completely different amd give a very different effect. Exciting!

Delighted that at @raspberry_pi we've been awarded an @ASigcse special project award "Developing criteria for K-12 learning resources in computer science that challenge stereotypes and promote diversity". More details on what we'll be doing in the new year. Happy holidays all🎄

@mrbcomputing @RushtonDr @educrochet @angelicakrill @crestem_kcl 50+ years (intermittent) of crochet and coding/programming (and mathematics) and only recently have I begun to see connections between them! Lifelong learning! Thanks to all on the @kcl_ecs_pgr STEM Ed MA team & the #educrochet community!
