Bowtie scarf

The Bowtie scarf is coming along nicely: I had to modify the pattern to get the slot to look decent.  Ended up going down four needle sizes (from a size 7 to a size 3) for the row before and after and using thread instead of a stitch holder to

Hmm

Houston, we have a problem: Hubby and Sehlat are both more normal than me?  83% of everyone else who took the test is more normal than me.  Bah, humbug!

Quantum Mechanics part three - Observation and experiment

Going back to the double slit experiment post, suppose you run the experiment with a light source letting only one photon through the system at a time.  If the light is a particle, there are no other particles in the system for it to interact with.  You still get the

FO, the glove edition

Finished the Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers: I used 2 skeins of Noro Kureyon #88, size 7 and 8 dpns, and liberal amounts of yarn splicing.  There was one knot in my two skeins, which was removed and the ends spliced back together.  They felt less-than-soft, so they'

Quantum Mechanics part two - Waves and particles

The double slit experiment is the classic example of light behaving like a wave.  You have a light source at one end of the table.  The light source is pointed at a narrow slit in a piece of plastic. Only the light going through that slit enters the rest of

Quantum mechanics

If a tree falls in the forest and there's no-one there to observe it, is it real?  George Berkeley (March 12 1685 to January 14 1753) said "Esse est percipi" ("to be is to be perceived") which fits nicely with quantum mechanics, where

It's Hubby's birthday, go say hello!  Kudos to whomever arranged the nice sunny day for him, big help.  I love you Hubby! Armwarmer #2 was started in Tuesday and suffered its first rip back in the excellent company of Fluid Pudding, Squeaky Weasel, and Poppy Mom,

Redo #6

This is the first completed Hurry Up Spring Armwarmer.  I haven't sewn in the ends yet, and it's hard to take a decent photo of your right hand.  It's fuzzy, but the colours are more or less right. The observant may notice the purple
