Geek Crafts points us towards Flickr user Ashe-Villian's clever hand-carved rubber stamp made in the shape of the ebola virus. I love their idea of making get-well cards with it. Who knew ebola could be so modern-looking and pretty? [ Read this article ] [ Comment on this article ]

I sepnt most of this morning trying to come up with a storyline for my short. The initial concept was about a new comer to a knitting circle, but try as I might, and despite having a central character and a setting, I was finding it too difficult to come up with any sort of story. I find that when I'm developing stories, I put too much pressure on myself to come up with the basics, and then nothing...

I had this idea brewing that I could maybe create a space of my own. Since adopting the practice (or attempted practice) of sewing, I have had an accumulation of stuff. My knitting has always been contained to boxes on my wall, artfully displaying my stash and reminding me what i need to use before going trolling for more.

One of these things... is entirely not like the other! And sadly, it's not an optical illusion! Here's another visual. The sock on the right, in addition lacking a toe, is about 2" shorter than the sock on the left! As I cast-on for the second Belle Époque sock, I noticed that the leftover skein was looking mighty skimpy. Huh, I thought, it's going to be a tight squeeze! I remembered being warned about...

I was thrilled to get my issue of Domino in this month's mail and see a black woman on the cover (yay!). But I was slightly disappointed to flip to the article and find out she's not a designer, she's Mara Brock Akil, a television producer (hmm). And so this is the impetus for me to write on a topic that I think about alot: where are all the people of color in the design community? Do they not exist?...

In my previous posting, I showed how I got started making the Lady Hoare tatting shuttle. I took the bits of recycled wood back out to the workshop, and cut the 2 shuttles out on the bandsaw: Then finished up the openings with a smaller saw: Next, time to make some sawdust: You can see how it’s looking more [...]

My husband’s dad built a desk when my husband was a wee little guy. Sadly, the desk fell apart last winter. BUT! The desk lives on in all manner of ways! I have made bag handles and a heap of bracelets from the bottoms of the drawers. And, today, I made myself another ‘Lady Hoare’ (I pronounce it [...]
