When you make up a stitch and then leave the piece to hibrenate for about 6 weeks for some X-mas knitting and such, maybe make some notes or take a photo with needle in the stitch before you let go of it? Please?

It's really not that hard to draw a line from brushing off memeified social media Nazi content as "hahaha it's just a joke, lighten up, nobody takes this seriously," to murdering people in the street.
This is a good article about how pseudoarchaeological & pseudohistorical content can soften & spread extremist viewpoints. Extremists know how to weaponize & exploit this point:
"Even if a viewer doesn’t understand the underlying ideology, the memes can lead to more, and more overt, neo-Nazi dreck."

Wrote about how the teens are sharing Nazi occult memes w/ @willgottsegen.com This isn’t an exaggeration. Lots of them are doing this www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Apparently I'm in need of a website and a domain name. I have zero thoughts on simple domain name, which would work with relative ease in English and Finnish (it will be .fi-domain). Any thoughts around looped textiles?

I don't know if this is the stuff of nightmares or a miracle of evolutionally design, or possibly both, but looking at the structure of spider silk makes the collection machines of spider silk to make more sense.
We're excited to announce the finalists of the #RSPPhotoComp 2025! 🎉 Starting with #microimaging and overall winner, 'Mesmerizing spider threads' by Dr Martin Ramirez, capturing two exceptional silk threads of the Australian net-caster spider (sample obtained by Dr Jonas Wolff @evoimec.bsky.social).

Sometimes research requires buying tools to use as example why theory doesn't work as many assume it to work (the size of the i-cord is based on the distance of the nubbins, NOT on the size of the hole).

If you are interested in the early blue & white knitted socks found in Egypt, the Museum der Kulturen Basel has put their collection online.
As the search engine is a bit tricky as yet, I put together a blog post that includes them and a few from other institutions: nalbound.com/2025/11/04/b...

Books I have enjoyed: 7 Sisters, Outlander, Anne of Green Gables
Books I haven't enjoyed: LotR, SoIaF

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.
Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

I frogged a dormant project today. It was casted on on a whim to be knitted with my knitting machine. After 10 years of owning a knitting machine, I have come to the conclusion, that I don't like knitting with the machine and I don't think the sock blank-hype came to stay. It's time to say farewell.
