Neuro's Yarn Pack!!

Hello on this strangely blustery Tuesday!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

I'm very happy to be on Day Two of my second vaccine dose.  I'm a little sleepy, and the injection site is red and itchy.  I must be one hell of an antibody factory!!!!

I've been working a bit here and there on the yarn packs for our upcoming Dye Weekend.  I did Neuro's fist because they need to be mailed to her.  They wanted to pose for you:


Each full skein is CSM-knitted into a tube and has an additional 20g skein for accent color or whatever.  The yellow yarn you see is the "waste" yarn that guards the live stitches on both ends.  It's pretty good about not unraveling, so I just make it long enough so that even accidents won't unravel the good stuff!

Other projects continue to progress slowly.  It's not a race, so I'm really trying to intentionally enjoy the process!

In wildlife news - not much going on these days.  But we're supposed to get a bit of snow tonight!!  Not a lot here, but it's still disconcerting (almost as much as that 80-degree day was earlier this month!!).

Poisons

Macinnis, Peter (2004). Poisons: From Hemlock to Botox and the Killer Bean of Calabar. New York: Arcade Publishing. 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
