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.

well captured expression of mischievous innocence!

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....

This shot is a keeper! Make sure you save in many places so it's never lost. ;-)

Oh that picture is so beautiful!
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.
Baino said…
Cruel indeed, he looks in such pain!
Kris McCracken said…
Magiceye, he carries that look for a fair part of the day!

Yamini, he’ll need a beanie, it’s getting cold.
Kris McCracken said…
Your EG Tour Guide, I keep them in four separate locations (including online) for that very reason.
Kris McCracken said…
Candie, he is a good looking fellow.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, cute cruelty has a big future.
Kris McCracken said…
Diva, I believe that I will be able to convince him.
Kris McCracken said…
Baino, it’s terrible, isn’t it?
yamini said…
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!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, all those numbers and patterns is why I'm no good at knitting.

Kelsey, the hat or the baby?

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...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...
