I'm going to lead a couple of mini-workshops on visual notetaking at RefreshPhilly tonight. These notes are my preparation for tonight. The first thing I'm going to do is give a little drawing instruction, using Ed Emberly as inspiration.

My current project list.

PlanningForce is probably the only planning tool that has been conceived to help managers have a clearer idea of the real expected added value of new projects, in relation to the rest of the portfolio.

The steps that go into planning a project.

From a mini-workshop I led for Boston area higher education technologist. "Harnesssing Visual Thinking for Project Planning." Great group with folks from Brandeis, Wellesley, Harvard, Brandeis, Tufts, Wheaton College, and Wentworth Institute of Technology. Thanks to David G. Wedaman of Brandeis for being the point man in coordinating the event!

I am in the midst of planning a workshop on visual thinking. Here is a page of notes charting out my thoughts as I develop the content of the workshop. Check back for info at envizualize.com/blog for the latest.

I visually facilitated a conversation with Jill Foster to help her think about her goals for her upcoming reporting gig from the Democratic National Convention and the logistics she will need to take care of to reach those goals. Jill Foster will be reporting from the Democratic National Convention in Denver via her cell phone for Utterz.com. Utterz allows users to publish audio, video, text, and photos to the web with the push of a button. This is going to be once in a lifetime opportunity for Jill, so she wants to make the most of it. Here is what Jill says about the experience of engaging in a visually facilitated project planning session.

Left to right:

Jamieson's DK 150 Atlantic

Jamieson's DK 168 Clyde Blue

Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Tweed 03

Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool 21 Billberry

I like all of these, and recommend picking one of these if you want a blue. The lighter blue, 010 woad, in Silky Wool is also a good option; look at the color chart. I am doing my scarf in the Jamieson's DK moss, but I would have done it in the Silky Wool if my local yarn store carried the dark green.

A visual reminder to sew up fabrics I have instead of buying more.

Some upcoming planned sewing. I don't feel as attached/obligated to this one as previous plans and fabric shortages may cause two projects to be abandoned in their planned form.

I really like this yarn -- it is 65% wool and 35% silk. It was designed by Elsebeth Lavold, who loves to knit cables. Cables in Silky Wool. Silky Wool color chart. The colors shown here are 21 bilberry and 04 charcoal. I suspect the sweater above is knit in 10, which is also available (I did not get a picture of it).

Here are the colors I would like to use for tectonics shawl: Jamieson's DK sunrise and prussian blue. I would like to knit up the 12 patterns as ovals, and connect with some sort of lace. I am probably insane, since this will be my first real project. I might also make an afgan, which might be more practical, but not as challenging.

Credit goes to fisheggs and her incredible tectonics scarf.

I've been feeling in a rut with my stash lately so I decided to "air the stash" and sort it to see exactly how much fingering weight I have. I bought it all to make all of the amazing socks for myself and I've found that I just truly don't bother casting on socks. I think it's because of the need to swatch for them. Oof. I need to start knitting this yarn.
