No Spam for You!

Please excuse the Seinfeld Soup Nazi rip-off.

Check out what this woman does ... very very cool!

I made a most excellent set of beads this week, but have been foiled in my attempt to post a picture here. Not for the first time, either. I get an itty-bitty picture in a weird sort of static-looking canvas.

So anyway, last week I made letter tile beads for Jill, spelling her name. We had so much fun playing with them that I started thinking about doing the entire alphabet. Then on the 4th, I noticed Google's celebration of Louis Braille's birthday, and got a brainstorm. (and believe me, it was painful) Took several sessions at the torch, and more than one letter tile had to be re-done, but finally completed the Rainbow Braille tiles. Already have plans for the next set in the works.

Knitting, not so much. First sock of the new year doesn't even rate a picture. I finally decided to knit a toe-up sock along with the Socknitters SAM, using leftovers. Frigging foot was 13 inches long, and even felting didn't rescue it. So I'm going to cut off the cuff and use it as a wristwarmer. Back to cuff-down socks for me...if it ain't broke, etc.
