Old and New

Some old things, some new things:

* The block print ornaments I made before the holidays, inspired by Norwegian folk costumes. So much of what I do involves pixels, so the physicality of carving, inking and printing a block is a much appreciated change of pace. More of that in 2022, yes, please.

* I’m a quarter of the way through Catching Breath, a fascinating read about the science and history of tuberculosis. Who would have thought bacterium could give you a page-turner.

* I finally finished the Alabama Chanin skirt I started back in 2019. It’s a tremendous amount of work that goes into one of these garments, but I loved making this and can’t recommend this pattern and technique book enough.
