Three Hats, Two Socks, and One Omission - In Reverse Order

I completely failed to make mention about the most important aspect of the Zombie BBQ yarn I blogged about the other day - it is a gift from Neuro!!!  So not only it is theeee coolest yarn ever, but it carries with it many happy memories of a terrific Weekend of Weaving!


OK, so inbetween all the weaving I did manage to get some knitting done.  These are Water Lilies socks, made with Cascade Handpaints.  Great yarn and pattern!


In addition to all of her other marvelous creations, Neuro has made three fantastic hats for Mr. Oogy in the past couple of years.  This one, the latest version, is made with the fabulous high-tech stuff, and was also knit inbetween episodes of frenzied weaving.


This next one is both handsome and warm - perfect for indoor use in the coldest of winter months!  (I know - hard to believe when it's been so hot here lately!)


These jaunty stripes keep cold heads warm!


Here is a formal portrait of the Hat Triumvirate.  Made with TLC by the talented Neuro!!

I'm not sure the pooch is embracing his new role as hat model. Perhaps he needs a hat of his own! I'll wait until the middle of winter...

Poisons

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. From the author’s web site : "As usual, I am interested in the people, their interactions and the social effects that poisons have had, as well as the science. There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
