Conversation with my son, 9yo:
Son: Is that one of those Bolognese sweaters?
Me: A bolero?
Som: Yes, the kind you wear while eating Bolognese sauce!
This is a little cropped bolero I knit for C (7yo) since she has almost grown out of the one I knit her when she was 18 months old.

I’ve been teaching outreach classes for the Textile Center, and yesterday we made sweet hand pieced quilted coasters at Nokomis library.

Every left-leaning woman in your life is getting heavy into arts and crafts right now because they don’t know what else to do with their rage

Float Free, Bumblebee is the existence part of the proof of Theorem 4.4 from the 2022 JMA paper Carolyn Yackel and I wrote. The theorem classifies which two-color frieze groups are achievable in which directions in mosaic knitting. 🧶

This is an interesting perspective. What does it mean for artists? Is making art enough? Or do you need to somehow synthesize it? Or is the making of art the synthesis of patterns?
The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize.
Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition.
It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

While I was making this, I asked where he planned to wear this sweater. “At home, it’s a home only sweater.”
This morning he said, “This is an everywhere sweater” and wore it to school. 🧶😍🧶🥹🧶

Last WIP left for #MarchtotheFinish are these pair of mittens. They’ve been in time out due to the tiny thumb on the right mitten. 🧶
