Continuing the FO parade…
In April, I finished two large projects. One: my dissertation (all 252 pages of it).

The other: my Tangled Yoke Cardigan.

Now I know I’m the gazzillionth person to finish this sweater (according to Ravelry, there are 816 people who have knit it. And that’s just on Ravelry). But I don’t […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about tradition lately (yep, this is the point when my dissertation and the knitting start to bleed together) — what makes something a tradition, the ways in which we practice traditional arts, and why we continue them when there are other (newer?) things we could be doing.
