Slippers For a Friend

Hello on this Baked Salmon (with lemon!) Saturday!!

A few more things are starting to move out of the finishing pile and onto the next part of their journey!  Here is a pair of slippers made from that terrific pattern, Felted Clogs, that I keep re-making for various people because they wear them so often that they put holes through two layers of double-stranded wool on the bottom!  (Oogydad has taken to duct-taping the bottom of his, preferring any slipperiness over hold prevention!):

And here is Sharon Air, taking up all four blocking squares and most of the Yarn Room (and too wide to photograph without somehow swinging from the ceiling!!):

Stay safe and well too :)

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.
