I designed this based on Maggie Righetti's "recipe" (from her book Crocheting in Plain English) for raglan-top-down cardigan. I'd had success with a baby sweater using the "recipe" but this went awry somewhere around the armhole join so I put it aside. As soon as Doris Chan's "Everyday Crochet" came out in Fall 2007 I started making her designs which are also top-down raglan style. I think maybe now I have learned enough to know what went wrong. I am going to rip back to above the armhole join and see if I can get this going in the right direction (in time to wear it in Paris in June?!).
Canyonlands National Park. The only person we met in False Kiva was a photographer. He is waving to us from the "Cave".
As my roommate Tamy noted, being around False Creek can sometimes feel like you're living in a futuristic city, where some post-collapse society has built itself the perfect little utopia in some remote and untouched corner of the world.

Transitional Object (PsychoBarn), 2016
By Cornelia Parker
Cornelia Parker’s Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) was first exhibited on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2016, against the dramatic backdrop of Central Park and the New York City skyline.
Standing at nearly 30 feet tall, the structure has multiple layers and complexities of reference. As with many of Parker’s projects, the found object is a key element. The components of a dismantled traditional American red barn have been appropriated; the planks of the long sidings becoming the house’s walls and its corrugated roof providing material for the roofing tiles. The design is based on the Bates family motel seen in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho (1960), which in turn was modelled on a painting by Edward Hopper, House by the Railroad (1925). This painting was also a reference point for Parker, who was drawn to its sparseness and sense of eerie isolation.
As with Hitchcock’s stage set, Parker’s house is not a real house but a scaled-down façade with the supporting structure deliberately visible behind, both characteristics adding to the illusionary effect. The combination of the red barn – with its connotations of rural wholesomeness – and the sinister psychological complexities of Hitchcock’s house, presents a series of deliberate paradoxes. As Parker puts it, it confronts the “polarities of good and evil”.

In the Annenberg Courtyard (September 2018 — March 2019)
false kiva in canyonlands n.p. it is approx. 2 hrs. moderate hike from main road.off the beaten path.more than worth the trip.I can deeply feel the spirit.
Looks like a chanterelle, but for a novice like me I am not so sure. If it is a false chanterelle, they are rumoured to be poisonous. A good reason why I may never be a mushroom hunter!
