Does This Look Twisted To You??


No, it doesn't - because it's not!  It's how I left Neuro's Fire Festival Hat just about a year ago, after casting on 8 billion stitches and twisting the cast-on the first time around.  It has sat there, patiently, ever since.  Without realizing it, I made it very easy on myself to get started again on this great pattern!!  Here we go!!!!

As I'd anticipated, I spent yesterday's yarn time wrangling with the counting for the Unicorn Explosion border, finally getting the first pattern row all set and ready for the rest of them.  Then I decided it was time to put it down and head back to some knitting.  I made another baby mitt, and also did a wee bit of spinning.  Today I mean to get some work done on Pawprint before reintroducing myself to Viking.  This all in advance of the (eventual) arrival of Sky and the last of the work on the CWA.

Meanwhile, I had yet another idea for a cowl pattern.  Good thing I decided to keep a list - these projects may extend indefinitely!!

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
