Rainy Days and Mondays

Yes it is!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

The Casapinka KAL Cowl is blocking:


I've said all along how this was such a super fun project.  Each section went quickly and even though I totally messed up one of the stich patterns, I really like how it turned out!  By way of reminder, all of these yarns were from the stash.  Doubling laceweight so that it creates a fingering weight yarn has opened up a whole new set of possibilities!

I also just realized that there is yet another nephew planning to be married.  This one, at least, is planning a year ahead, so next October (at least that's what I'm hearing).  They'll be getting the Glamping Blanket that is among the next of the Casapinka KALs, in the bulky yarn.  There's another shawl in there somewhere, too - no idea where that will end up!

The yarn for my mom's Xmas gift arrived today - if all goes according to plan, I'm going to make her a rainbow of kitchen towels!  I'm going to treat the first one as a prototype and see how it turns out.  Could be very cool.

The second pair of yoga socks is progressing well.  Pics to follow!

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
