MKAL Frenzy

Hello on this stormy Tuesday!

I'm working away on Sharon Air and have just started Clue 5.  I think it's a fairly large clue, because it came with a disclaimer that we shouldn't feel compelled to get it all done in one week.  I'm enjoying the different colors of yarn and for the most part it's very straightforward knitting!

Mountain Musings has been a little more challenging (as expected):


First there was the pinhold caston (you can see I haven't exactly worked in the end there, but it otherwise turned out as planned).  Then there was the first bit on DPNs.  Now I've finally switched to circulars but still seem to have a bit of a counting challenge.  I'm enjoying the colors with this one as well although still adjusting to working in the round (it's been a while, I think!).

I think I've managed to use every single pair of #5 circular needles I own with all of these projects!  I may need to invest in a few additional sets just to have them available!

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
