Catching Up!

Hello on this Personalized Pizza Thursday!!

It's been quite some time, hasn't it?  And of course I continue to work on all kinds of projects, but I don't seem to have finished many as of late.  Yesterday I decided to do something about that:


This is Mountain Musings, a MKAL that I worked on last summer!  It's been waiting to block for some time now.  I went a bit easy on the blocking, since it's already a good size and mostly garter-type stitches. This was super fun to make and I had no idea that it would end up as a large rectangle!  My Ashford Traditional seems glad for the company.

Neuro and I have been revisiting some languishing project this year, so I've been doing a fair amount of un-doing as well as rejuvenating some others that were thought to be hopeless.  I also have a small pile of pillows that started out as an afghan project, and once those are done (soon!) I can show them off.  I keep wanting to do more spinning but somehow the fully-formed yarn keeps cutting to the front of the line!

Stay safe and well!

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
