Knitting Solidarity

Hello on this cloudy Monday!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

I haven't been up to much yarn excitement lately, except to say that I'm now surrounded by many yarny lovelies from Neuro!  Not only did she give and make me some awesome things for the holiday, but I continue to enjoy what she gave me for my b-day some time ago:


This is the emPower People cowl in Neuro's custom colorway Biden Our Time.  I've been working on this since the business the other day.  I've also been wearing the one she made for me; that one is a deep purple and made with a soft, squishy wool/camel blend.  There's a third version waiting in the wings - I'll show you that one and some pics of these other things in the coming days (the Goldilocks Project, Oogyhubby's hat, the gauge swatch, and whatever else hops on the needles! Stash yarn only - 2021 is the year of Yarn Austerity!).

There are also a couple of longer-term projects in the works; stay tuned for more on those!

I continue to be busy in a good way with competing priorities as well.  No complaints here!

The wildlife continue to be visibly scarce during daylight hours.  Last evening, however, Benson set up a racket right after dinner.  When Oogyhubby went to investigate, he saw that there was a fox out on the driveway.  Evidently the fox gave him the equivalent of the fox middle finger before strolling off into the night.

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
