RoPions 7 and 8!!

Hello on this cloudy Wednesday!

Work on the Rogue Pinion continues.  I'm very excited to be starting Neuro's RPs 7 and 8!!

You might not be able to see it from there, but there are at least FOUR places in RP6 where some additional work is required - because I was working with two strands held together, all the fancy twisting loops, and a couple of glasses of wine....  Sometimes only one loop got included and left the other dangling.  Those will need to be worked in; right now they're held in place by stitch markers that mock me at every chance they get!

The colors in this photo look a bit more washed out than they really are.  I think looks very pretty and it's been so fun to take turns writing the pattern with Neuro!  (Which reminds me - I need to get started on my next two!)

I work on Cowldici here and there but so far it's just the first section in CC1.

Work has been busy but good.  Funny how it cuts into the knitting time!

Stay safe, warm, and healthy :)

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
