Rogue Pinion Cast On!

Hello on this strangely warm Monday!

I finally cast on for our Rogue Pinion project yesterday afternoon:


Savvy Pinion knitters will notice that this looks strangely like Original Pinion.  Well, so far it is!  Casapinka does a great job of anticipating the flaring that happens at the end of long, straight knits and so she builds in some safeguards.  Why mess with perfection??

For the second section I chose a stitch pattern called Coral Knot Stitch.  I expect that some time today I'll find out if I love it or hate it!!

In other news - I have today off!  Hoping to make a trip to the liquor store to replenish some critical items and perhaps get those slippers sewn and felted!!

Stay safe and well!

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
