Scrolls Lace pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. Knit with Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn single-ply wool on number 1 double points.
The Noro colors were lovely. I wanted fraternal socks, so knit one from the outside of the skein and the other from the inside. The yarn is crunchy and the “thin-thick-lumpy” ply OK. Not too problematic, but tricky with the yarn-overs.
Torah Scroll (partial). Torah scroll from Poland, rescued during the Holocaust when it was given to a Polish farmer who hid it from the Nazis. Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York.

Dufu Cottage (also known as Dufu Thatched Cottage, Dufu Caotang, or 杜甫草堂) is my favorite spot in the city (as a photographer) and one of my favorite for simple relaxation. I’ll briefly introduce three aspects here: Dufu, Chengdu during the years he was here, and the physical location of his cottage.
To start on Dufu, I’ll say he’s one of China’s most favorite classical poets. (I haven’t read too many, but to date, he’s my favorite Chinese poet; his themes tend to be more than subtle poems about nature.) Along with Li Bai, he is probably the most influential poet of his era – and for centuries that followed.
Dufu lived from 712-770 AD (Tang Dynasty). He was born in Henan province, though the exact location isn’t known. As a younger man, he traveled around the Middle Kingdom. His biggest ambition was actually to be a civil servant. However, due to politics (corruption, nepotism, etc.), he never passed the examinations because he lacked the right political connections.
Though he was from Henan and didn’t spend more than a few years here in Chengdu (roughly 760-765, but not exclusively), he is associated with Chengdu because he wrote effusively of his time here and how he loved living in his “Thatched Cottage.”
Chengdu, in those days, was most certainly a part of China and was close to the imperial national border. Tibet, in those years, was a separate kingdom that was essentially treated as its own nation-state. Those years were marked by warring between the two states. (Tibet, by the way, is one province west of China and, historically, Tibet was bigger than its current border.) So, Chengdu of the 8th century was definitely on the western frontier of the country.
Dufu’s Cottage is located in Chengdu just inside the 2nd Ring Road about 5 km. directly west of downtown (Tianfu Square is considered the heart of the city). It’s a 24 acre park that is wonderful for strolling, contemplating, relaxing in general. None of the buildings currently on site are where Dufu lived, but are actually replicas that were built during the…Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), I believe, but also possibly during the Qing (1644-1911). According to Wikipedia, the park was created during the Ming (16th century) and renovated during the Qing (1811). However, I can’t say which buildings were built during the Ming, which came after. At any rate, the buildings are old, and have been renovated – obviously – with electricity, etc.
The PRC declared this park a national heritage site in 1961. Since then, they have actually uncovered what may be the actual location of the cottage (or, at the very least, a cottage that was lived in roughly the time Dufu lived here). So in addition to the tributes to Dufu around the park, there is a small area that is an authentic archaeological site that shows how life was here in the 8th century.
If I recall, the admission price for this park is 60 RMB (just under $10). I’ve been here a few times in the past year. With its buildings and natural setting, it’s well worth a visit for anyone who happens to chance upon Chengdu.

I have a book on Islamic Calligraphy by Sheila S. Blair and I chose this tughra as my inspiration for the scroll. You can see another example of one here: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/449533
