adding colour to the city

Alerted to what might be a memorable event by someone on Ravelry, G and I hied off to the Place de la Trinité this afternoon.

As part of the festivities for the Toulouse Carnival, a group of intrepid sewers and others decorated the square with large quantities of fabric.

pi(e)

On Monday, I saw something on a website somewhere that reminded me that Wednesday would be Pi Day.

So I said to G (who was home sick, which he would very shortly give to me...), "Pi day is coming up.  I'll have to think of what I'm going to make."

G looked at me with a look of vague bewilderment.

"You, know, Pi day.  Like, 3.14.  Pi."

The look of bewilderment acquired an edge of concern (possibly for my sanity).

points

A while ago, I made a beautiful purple shawl (a couple photos in this post). I've been wearing it a lot as a scarf, just kind of bunched up (which doesn't show off the lace well, but it's warm, if a touch scratchy). I've been thinking, pretty much from when I first blocked the shawl, that I should have blocked it so there were double the number of points - but when I looked at the photos provided with the pattern, only the points below the hearts (though they look like tulips to me) were pointy. So that's how I blocked it. However, it really looked to me like there was enough fabric to bring down intermediate points as well.

I appear to be an extremely delinquent blogger.  From day to day, I do not feel that anything that has happened is blogworthy (or perhaps, one small event might be blogworthy, but certainly would not make up an entire blog) and I have thus completely avoided the question by avoiding the blog.

Clearly, this is not a workable long-term solution for keeping a blog up to date and interesting for anybody (including me).

Therefore, I give you food.
