The Blanket of Ideas started in Nottingham is finally complete!
We had an extremely cozy day in September drinking tea and knitting squares at The Art Organization in Nottingham for this Blanket of Ideas. Knitters brought all sorts of ideas to the table and knit them into great, evocative squares. Their thoughts and passions ranged from peace in Israel to public health to church corruption and everything in between. When all the squares were finished, I crocheted borders on them and put together the final blanket. It's a bit on the wonky side since all the squares were a bit different in size and tension, but it's a great collection of what everyone was thinking about that day we got together to knit. The blanket will go on display in Nottingham at Nottingham Contemporary next week. Good going, everyone!

really needs a home...
Sal is a super sweetheart, who loves attention and affection and is happiest in a lap. He is the perfect dog-cat, following around his human companion, asking to have his belly rubbed, and purring louder than a locomotive.
Sal is currently living alone in a room with a bowl of water, a litter box, and plenty of food. He craves companionship, but our indoor kittens only hiss when he is nearby. We try to spend as much time with the cat as possible, but I know he would like more love than we can give. He was neutered last Friday and is still wearing his fashionable cone, so outdoors is currently not an option.
He desperately wants to be a housecat, and we don't want to let him back on the streets after he has been de-wormed, de-fleaed, tested (negative) for diseases, and neutered.
Do you have room in your home and your heart for this precious beast?
Thanks, Megan, for bringing this image to my attention. I seem to have lost my name and now am simply a generic bike commuter in the LA Times wearing pink pants!

Correction to the proceeding post. The suspected she-cat turns out to have balls. Boy cat is sweet and desperately needs a home. Please consider this sweet cat. We will even remove the balls.
