Projects and plies and roses, oh my!

A pair of socks hits the mail tomorrow, heading for my mother in England (KnitPicks Simple Stripes in Storm, 9st/in on size 1 Addi turbo), hope she likes them. The colour seems to be discontinued, but it's a good yarn, and another chunk of leftovers for the

I got two spindles of Coopworth done in two hours last night. I think it was more even by the end of it. Need to take more time with the drafting and make a thinner yarn. I'm not taking into account that it has to be plied, so

Your mission, should you chose to accept it...

I got the call Wednesday night, I've been waiting a month for this. Spinning class starts on April 15th at the Weaving Department in Myer's House, and I'm signed up. Got my spindle, got my roving, made one disasterous attempt at spinning that ended

Mr Men

BBC News: Happy birthday to the Mr Men. It was 35 years ago that Mr Tickle first made an appearance, kicking off generation after generation's love for the Mr Men and the Little Miss books. The Mr Men were the creation of Roger Hargreaves who came up with

Neutrino Physics

BBC News: Light shed on mysterious particle. Physicists have confirmed that neutrinos, which are thought to have played a key role during the creation of the Universe, have mass.
