The Atzei Chayim
(Hebrew, pl., trees of life; sing., aitz chayim)
The atzei chayim are the two wooden shafts attached to either end of the Torah scroll, around which it is rolled. Each shaft is made long enough to extend beyond the top and bottom of the scroll, and is used as a handle with which to hold the Torah and to scroll from portion to portion.
ILK (red), a kinase that helps hook actin to integrins in focal adhesions, is also found on centrosomes, where it helps arrange spindle microtubules (green). (JCB 180(4) TOC1)

I wove a 2x6” bookmark on the Weavette loom, following the instructions in Modular Textures: Patterns for the Weavette & Weave-It Looms Volume 1 by Licia Conforti. Woven in plain weave.
I used Ashland Bay Sandalwood Merino roving, spun on a homemade drop spindle, for the bookmark in the foreground. The purple/blue/pink bookmark in-progress is corriedale/merino "vintage" dye.

I am very excited about this. Well as you can all see, I have the beautiful silk alpaca waiting for me to spin it. I don't want to waste it so I am practicing and practicing. The spindle I got originally when I first started was too small I found. It didn't have enough weight to it and didn't hold very much spun yarn.
My husband and I came up with this one! It spins forever! I love it. I used a CD to trace and we glued the dowel. The burn marks on the side are where my husband used a grinder to make the edges really smooth. I told him this was super important so the fiber wouldn't catch on the edge. I saw Vickie Howell make one with a CD on Knitty Gritty but I couldn't get the CD to be tight enough on the dowel so we did it this way. I am very very pleased with this and I had him make me two! Yippee! stay tuned!
