Vaccination Day!!

Hello on this crazily summer-like November day!  We'll be having shrimp cavatappi for dinner tonight.

OK, so last Saturday was Vaccination Day.  Daisy got her rabies and distemper boosters, and I got my flu shot and Omicron booster.  We both took a nice long nap that afternoon and don't seem to be much worse for the wear otherwise!  (And now are full of antibodies - yay!!!)

Work has been getting in the way of knitting again; the last couple of weeks have been especially busy.  This is definitely a First World problem, but it leaves me with very little progress to show you.

However, I think I've done enough on Twists&Turns to demonstrate some progress:


Lately I've just had this at my desk so I can knit a couple of rows here and there during a meeting where I'm not presenting or taking tons of notes.  Which hasn't been often, LOL.  I'm in no rush, and I can't wait to see how this thing evolves.  I've got a LOT more repeats of this section before moving on to Part 2, but at least now I feel like I know what's going on!

I'm actually working on another project that lives at the dining room table; I work on it for a few minutes most afternoons whilst enjoying a cocktail prior to making dinner.  It's a pair of felted slippers for Oogyhubby's friend, M.  I've finished the knitting on one and just started the other.  Sewing and machine felting will follow, and then of course packing and mailing before the holidays!

(Well, there are still 8 million other projects and proto-projects all over the place, patiently waiting their turn.  That time will come!)

In other news - it's kind of creepy when it's 75 degrees out but there are no leaves on the trees!  We're expecting a Big Wind today, which should blow all our leaves into the woods - very little raking needed here!  The wildlife has been relatively scarce lately too.

Stay safe and well :)

I need to pay close attention to the directions on T&T still, which is why it has been languishing for the past few weeks while I work on less central executive network-demanding projects. Seeing your progress is inspiring, though. It looks awesome!

I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.

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
