CSM Socks!!

Hello on this snowy and blustery Thursday morning!  I hope you're safe and well; we're good here.

Yes - it looks like February outside at the moment, with snow on the ground and a wave of heavy lake effect snow hitting us.  It shouldn't last long, but for the moment it is a winter wonderland out there (or maybe a winter WTFland is more like it??).

I finally completed the deep heel experimental CSM shortie socks, here is their pic:

These are actually a gift for my mom, just in time for Mother's Day! 

I think they look super cute, and although I think there is more hand knitting on there than machine knitting, they were a great experiment and really fun to make.

I still haven't dyed the minis for the "full size" version of these - which will be pink for this particular yarn (toes and heels anyway - not sure about the cuff yet).  I did, however, get one of LW's sock tubes cranked out yesterday.  The pile of yarn bundles continues to grow!  (Neuro - I'll be mailing yours on Sunday, which is probably the next time I'll actually leave the house, LOL.  I'll send you the tracking # so you can stalk the package as it makes its way to you!).

Not much else going on around these parts lately, but I'm sure all the wildlife are wondering what's going on with this weather!!

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
