Needles & Nilbogs

 I will have a photodump from the trip we went on next week, once I’ve had a bit to process, and I’ll talk about some fun yarn stuff and game stuff soon (it’s been a while, I know, I’ve had a weird summer), but this week is all about poetry, specifically a whole bunch of poem snippets I wrote over the last few days. (Thursday’s note: This was supposed to go out yesterday, to make up for absolutely nothing last week and in celebration of my birthday, but the beach happened so I didn’t write.) This is mostly a loose celebration, in an odd way, that it’s my birthday and as such I can do whatever I want here (still true even when it isn’t my birthday. Let me have my moment of oddity though), so I’m posting poetry.  Something There is something very poetic about all this — late afternoon sun in my eyes hair and skirt flowing, swirling in the wind  strings streaming from my hands while I weave  Weaving I am  Weaving a poem As I am knotting this bracelet Because There ...

I am so close to being done with the school year, I can almost reach out and stab it. However, I have AP exams, the SAT, and finals trying to murder me first, which doesn’t leave much time for writing (except for the essays).

This is actually just going to be the “travel” post, since I have an AP test next Friday and figure I should do the craft-related post next Thursday so I can cram in more studying. Fair warning, lots of pictures under the cut.

 The funny thing about math is the way it sneaks into everything. Or perhaps that’s the point. I don’t know, I just love math in all its forms. So I’m bringing back something I did a while ago, Math for Crafters, and providing another brief insight into my brain. This time, I’m talking about integrals (don’t run away, I promise not to have any scary equations) and the process of adding stitches to a project.
