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!

Brains
Day 117 (catch-up post): I have a brain...hat, that is. It required a lot more "i-cord" (French cord) than I'd expected to adequately cover the stocking cap. Each hemisphere took approximately 14 feet! A wig form is mandatory for arranging and pinning the convolutions unless you have a friend who is willing to serve as a pro-tem voodoo doll. The resultant hat is rather heavy, but fits snugly on the head without shifting. I'm ready for the March for Science on April 22, and also for the Nisqually Land Trust's annual "zombie" planting event!
Alternately working on a sock and the hat, I was of the mind that a vacation from the internet was just what I'd needed, although turning a blind eye to events, whether by design or accident, does not negate them as some seem to believe.
