Socks, Squid, and non-sequiturs
Posted by Nanc
First, let me give a big ol’ shout out to the Squid and wish him a happy first birthday! There was party and cake and tons of gifties for the big boy. And for a moment, all was right with the world.
Ther-a-wah?

So, I haven’t put up the next silk screen article yet, mainly out of sloth and laziness. Of course, there has been another pet project that’s been taking up most of my free time. I just finished it, and Nanc suggested that I share.
I will warn you that it’s not for the faint-of-heart. So, gird your loins, then come on in and get a look at my new Theremin.

‘Member back when I took the motorcycle safety course and passed? Well, since then I’ve taken the test and got my license. Wo0t!
So this means – watch the roads parking lots, folks! I may be haulin’ ass riding in circles near you!
My lateness is so embarassing

Not only do I have a belated ‘Thank you’ to offer up, but hidden deep in the dark recesses of my shame is an even more belated (belated-er?) ‘Thanks’. And really, it’s all getting a little cluttered in my psyche so I’m thanking them all in one fell swoop.
Prepare to be swooped!
Came. Saw. Conquered.

Chris, Petra (aka Good Girl Purl), and I went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this past weekend. We had a hoot, many laughs, and lots of wool. Come check it out!
Dye-o-meme-a-rama

I band-wagoned (this can be used as a verb, yes?) and joined the Dye-O-Rama swap. As part of this and to help my pal figure a good color and scheme for me, I’ve got a meme for y’all. No, you don’t HAVE to read it. No one’s forcing you, right?
Silk Screen Printing Part 1: Making a screen
Posted by Matty
This set of articles has been in the works for a while. I finally put together the graphics so we could publish it. Nanc and I are craft ninjas, and I have always wanted to do screen printing, but I had no idea how to even start.
I knew that it was expensive (truth: not so much) and messy (truth: the mess is manageable).
HellOOO, Pomatomus

Phew! I finally got them done, and just in the nick of time. I knit up half the foot, the toe, and sealed it all with a Kitchener stitch late last night!
Please say ‘Hello’ to my leetle sock friends…
