Delayed KAL

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

For the first time in several months I find myself on a Saturday without any looming deadlines (there are always deadlines, of course, but some of them happen sooner!).  I spent last weekend finishing up my practicum work for school.  Today I give you the Casapinka KAL shawl from last fall:

It's been so long I forget what I was calling this!  Of course it looks way better in real life.  The multi-colored yarn is some handspun I had been saving for a special occasion, and the others are leftovers from other projects that I already had in my stash.  It turned out beautifully, and I can't wait to wear it!

I continue work on my latest Casapinka project and various socks inbetween.  I don't have much else to show right now, but there are a couple of recently-planned projects coming up that will jump to the front of the queue once very soon.

It's ceased raining momentarily (and there may have even been some sleet/graupel last evening), and it's cool and sunny - my favorite!  We're going to get more rain soon, but I think with each day of rain the green things double in size!

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
