Knitting is cosmic thinking.


No Jen is not torturing the poor little mite with knitting needles in his head, she's knitting him a hat! Yet before you go and finish knitting that hat, it pays to check that the size is right.

Thus we have a baby on the bed grasping circular needles while his father callously photographs him.

It is indeed a cruel world.

I agree with magiceye, Ezra seems to be getting rid of the knitted "something" on his head desperately.
and yes, it is a real cruel world today. We can see that....

Priyanka Khot said…
woa! cruelty is something each parent should practice ONLY if the end result is THIS cute!
I hope he's willing to model the finished product.

Cruel indeed, he looks in such pain!

Yamini, he’ll need a beanie, it’s getting cold.

Your EG Tour Guide, I keep them in four separate locations (including online) for that very reason.

Priyanka, cute cruelty has a big future.

Diva, I believe that I will be able to convince him.
Kris McCracken said…
Baino, it’s terrible, isn’t it?

Ohh, I forgot, it must almost be winter time at your place.
Here in Delhi, we are awaiting the onset of scorching summers, with the environmental pundits throwing in their bit about global warming too.
Send us some chilled air, plzzzz!!!!

Ah! cuti-pie Ez...:-). Yes..yes..knitting is a kind of cosmic thinking...now let me bore you a bit...or perhaps a lot..since I know it is your favorite subject :-P. Now what that subject could be? Well, of course, Mathematics, indeed. As you AGREE, mathematics is the language of this universe, nature, etc...So, to think about cosmic events, you have to think mathematically. And you might not believe this, but there are intricate mathematics behind knitting - almost the whole knitting process can be described mathematically. Thus knitting implies mathematics implies cosmic thinking.

Ok, end of the comment. Now you can wake up :-D..hehehehe...

Yamini, 26 today, but you can gladly have any cold Antarctic breeze!

KL, all those numbers and patterns is why I'm no good at knitting.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
