Heard a lovely concert by the Portland Baroque Orchestra tonight, and the pre-concert lecture touched on several very interesting ideas that set my mind in pleasing motion. An excellent evening.

I had the great pleasure of giving a guest lecture for the Archaeological Method and Theory class at PSU yesterday. I had a fantastic time talking about experimental archaeology and ceramics research. Thank you, Dr. Nims, for the invitation!

Casually attempting the improbable. I went back to the thrift store (3 months later) and found another skein of... Maybe?... the same wool? What do you think? Will it be a match? #knitsky #skyKAL #knitting

I took a walk this frosty morning and picked a few early violets. They are now releasing their scent in the afternoon sun. This is one of the good things in life.

On a beautiful day in December, I lost HARD in a game of yarn chicken. (I mean utter, abject defeat.) I will revamp and revisit this project for the #skyKAL . Wish me luck! #skyknitting #knitting #trytryagain

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app! Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…

My first madder dye results. Initially, I got a clear coral pink, but on the fly, I decided to sadden the color a bit with some iron and I reheated the dye bath to shift the color toward brown. I like the resulting earthier tone. #naturaldye #madder #fiberarts #learningbydoing

My first handmade watercolors of the new year: Vermont grey, Arizona brown and purple, Lapis lazuli blue, and Oregon greens, yellow-brown, and red. I like this set as a winter palette. Now I just need time to paint...
