It's the last weekend of the Minnesota State Fair and, there being good weather, it should be a crowded one.

Here's a quilt on display in the Creative Activities building. You may recall from whom this good advice comes.

@weaving @fiberarts

Finished a run of turned taqueté hand towels on 8 shafts. The warp is 8/4 cotton with some doubled 8/2. (This was a stash project). Weft is 5/2 in a few different colors, but since turned taqueté is warp dominant, the color differences are subtle. The orignal drafts were in Handwoven a few years ago. I am now trying to teach myself how to design turned taqueté myself. We'll see how that goes...🤞 😂

The image depicts a futuristic cityscape with towering skyscrapers and domed structures in the background, suggesting a high-tech urban environment. In the foreground, a woman stands on a balcony, gazing out over the city. She is dressed in an elaborate outfit featuring a black fur collar and a voluminous black hat with a feathered design. Her attire includes a richly colored dress with orange and gold hues, complemented by large, ornate earrings and a bracelet. She wears a mask that covers her eyes, adding to the futuristic aesthetic. A small bird perches on the balcony ledge beside her, adding a touch of nature to the scene. The overall color palette is a mix of muted grays and soft pastels, with the woman's attire providing a striking contrast.

Happy Birthday to Mary Shelley, born August 30, 1797, the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, one of the first science fiction novels with a creature that speaks to the outsider in all of us.

Knit friendly versions of Frankenstein's creation with patterns like these (though they are perhaps more inspired by the movie)

@KarenStrickholm Thank you for the context information. I had never heard that before about her medical problems. That explains so much about Frankenstein.
in reply to Terry Matz

Right?! The surgeries gone wildly wrong, the disfigurement, the isolation the monster feels, the lack of control. I think she had something like 5 miscarriages. While still quite young, too. Thank goodness for that Comparative Literature major, it has truly been the gift that keeps on giving throughout my life!

I don't know what it is about the Cardinal babies but I am just enchanted by them every year. I love the adventurous mottled feathers, their attitude and how adorable they are. They are one of the big reasons reason I have cameras positioned on the ground because they tend to find feeders only when they are older. A good ID marker is the color of the beak - only the adults have a red one. #birds

The image depicts a suburban scene under a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. In the foreground, there is a dirt path with a small puddle of water, bordered by a paved area with hexagonal tiles. The path leads to a grassy area with several palm trees, adding a tropical feel to the scene. In the background, residential buildings with red and white roofs are visible, along with parked cars and utility poles with wires. The overall atmosphere is bright and sunny, with a mix of natural and man-made elements.

“Break Out” (1984) by The Pointer Sisters – 12” 33 RPM LP.

This is the definitive edition—the one loaded with the mega-hit “I’m So Excited”. Wild fact: that song was originally meant for Michael Jackson. Hard to picture it now, because it’s impossible to imagine the 80s without the Pointer Sisters owning it.

But this album isn’t just riding one hit. It’s stacked, front to back, with cuts that hit hard. No filler. No duds. Just peak Pointer Sisters.

What often goes unsaid: Break Out is one of the most forward-looking electro-dance records of the decade. The very thing that makes it futuristic—the layers of synths and electronic production—is also what makes it sound warm, rich, and full of life.

This is 80s pop at its sharpest edge, and it hasn’t lost an ounce of heat.

I've knitted an #EmotionalSupportChicken just for a laugh. I've slightly weighted her which I think feels really nice.

I've seen various stories for how these came about and got their name, from toys for kids after bush fires to pillows for use by patients after chest surgery. She's definitely a huggable shape and size, so I can understand why it feels comforting.

There are many free versions of the pattern online and YouTube tutorials as well. You can buy the original pattern from Ravelry.

in reply to Karen Strickholm

@KarenStrickholm I tried to get glass bead stuffing initially, but it's not easy to get here. In the end I went to my local $2 shop and bought a palm sized bag of "decorative pebbles" - I would estimate about 400g in weight. I sewed a flat pouch out of felt fabric and tightly packed the stones into it, so they don't make a clinking sound. I put the pouch about ¼ of the way up from the bottom, with poly fill underneath and around it.

I hope that helps! Wonderful that you're onto number 4 🐔 Are they a personal project or do you have people in mind for them?

in reply to Clianthus 🏴‍☠️

Back in the day people used dried beans or lentils. Thanks for the info on weights, placement etc., very helpful! 🙏😊🙏

I don't think I answered about the ESCs. The first 2 I made for others. #3 is with me but only for foster care, awaiting it's chicken forever home. #4 is also a gift. #5 will I think be for me! I've also made mini versions, very fun!
in reply to Clianthus 🏴‍☠️

SO cute! Fun and easy to knock out, too. I make them with yarn scraps. A great way to try out new skills like embroidery. And, the childlike delight on people's faces when they receive one is priceless. Here's the pattern... 🥰

ravelry.com/patterns/library/e…

in reply to Clianthus 🏴‍☠️

It was actually 1st one I made, it was very plain and stitch size too big, so stuffing was peeking through. Settled on US3 needles, three strands of fingering held together, for main body parts, on later chickies. Anything is fine for the embroidery, which I just did.

You can check out my #Ravelry Project pages for these if you want to see my notes. @KarenSantaFe

There was an article in #Wired, investigated and written by #TaylorLorenz (@taylorlorenz) about a kind of disturbing dark web of money funding some content creators who lean into democratic messaging. It has sent some people on the blueosphere apoplectic, and I fail to understand why they are attacking the messenger, rather than the ethics of an organization where the first rule of Chorus is that you’re not allowed to talk about #Chorus.

Look, I will be the first to agree that the Dems have lost the thread, and their connection to the people. Trying to fix that would be good. Trying to fix it by silencing leftists, and running the same dark money nonsense as the bad guys is not good. In fact, I put it to you that it is unethical and bad. And taking your anger about being lied to out on the person who exposed the deception is just self defeating.
