Unfinished


Here is Blue, with her braided fringe, awaiting a firm steaming (or similar to take out her wrinkles).  She is the only mostly-Finished Object that I have to show lately!


Here is Woven Scarf #3, made with merino top handspun, awaiting a fringe strategy and a good blocking as well.


And, lastly, these FOs mock me endlessly from the yarn project pile at my desk.  I hope you'll meet them in their completed forms in the coming days/weeks; in the meantime, they are, from left to right: socks, lace insets for hand towels, a shawl (made with yarn from Neuro, looking surprisingly like Wabenschal, but not for long!), and Unleaving.

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.
