365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Dragon-Scale Fingerless Gloves
Day 59: During a recent training session in the Park, the woman sitting next to me kept her hands occupied by crocheting. I was intrigued by the overlapping scale pattern on the fingerless gloves she was making. Although I made them on slightly heavier yarn than the pattern suggests, they would be very quick to turn out even in a fingering weight.
It's interesting that presenters normally pass out "fidget" items during training. It seems to me that the practice would be counter-productive. In fact, I could not concentrate on what our instructors were saying if I was engrossed in the colouring-book pages we each were given. I did manage to construct a daisy out of pipe-cleaners, but I still felt that my full attention was not where it should have been during that ten-minute space of time. I've always thought I was pretty good at multi-tasking, but the experience showed me otherwise.
