365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

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.
