Tubular Potholder on Flickr.
Probably the least sexy thing I’ve made in a while, but it was a fun knit, and it’s the first functional potholder I’ve made. The rest have been very … burny.
It’s knit tubularly, meaning it’s a tube knit flat, a lot like double knitting.
This is from Margaret Radcliffe’s book Circular Knitting Workshop. She’s local to me, and she ran a clinic at our most recent guild meeting. So. Freaking. Cool.

Feeling a bit braggy because today I figured out:
1) The guy who did the honey badger video is the same guy who voices Linda on Bob’s Burgers.
2) The opening sample of Self’s “It All Comes Out in the Wash” is from Howlin’ Wolf’s “Moanin’ at Midnight”.
Bam.
‘If a label says “Not For Drug Use” that means its not for drug use, not “Party Time!” If a label says “May Cause Drowsiness” that generally means it will make you tired, not high. If a label says “Poison!” that generally means it can and/or will kill you. You are not going to make some amazing new drug discovery in your medicine cabinet, your kitchen spice rack, or your household cleaning supplies. No, you can not get high from Borax.’
As a substitute teacher, I had to explain to some kids that they couldn’t make LSD by mixing bleach and rat poison. Teaching kids about drugs doesn’t make them want to do drugs. They want to do drugs for many other reasons already.
knit hilbert curve on Flickr.
I love crafting with fractals. Here’s a Hilbert curve cloth I knit using a twisted stitches technique. While the pattern was not intuitive (I had to rely heavily on the chart), it was an enjoyable technique, and I like the results.
big bunny has teeth on Flickr.
My boy had a wonderfully positive reaction to meeting the easter bunny and pointed out his/her teeth. Too much cute.
