Threading pattern (Finnish Twill from the Davison book) is taped on the castle. While I initially thought suspending the cross was a cruel joke, I now think it is brilliant.
Pattern source: "Venetian Square" motif from crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa061999.htm
Thread: size 10 DMC Cebelia in Ecru
These insects are very hard to photograph. It is like trying to shoot a photograph of a five foot long piece of spagetti. If you look closely you will see there is an eye and a beak like mouth part folded directly under the head. For best view click on all sizes and then click on original size.
Thanks to Cotinis and Nachoman for correcting me on the ID. It makes sense that this is a kind of assassin bug. The mouth part is perfect.

I'm taking the advanced filet crochet class at CrochetVille. This is the results after week one :)
The one on the left was really tough, it uses blocks for increase and decrease. I struggled a lot, but got the hang of it after a lot of unravels!
The one on the right was much easier, it's open mesh increases and decreases.
Neither one is blocked yet.

Wales has a much celebrated tradition of creating both utilitarian and decorative textiles of distinctive design. From power-loomed blankets to hand-stitched quilts, textiles are a key part of Welsh visual culture and history.
Whilst ‘A Darker Thread’ takes this heritage as its starting point, twelve contemporary artists, designers and makers have been invited to exhibit work which subverts these expectations.
Exhibitors have been selected for their challenging, confrontational or unpredictable approach to making thoroughly contemporary work which confidently cross boundaries of art, design and craft. A variety of making processes are exemplified, but all make use of thread in some form.
The curious, provocative, intense, fragile works explore broad-ranging themes of empowerment, loss, language, internal landscapes, memory and gender to name but a few. Some work might still feel comfortably familiar through its materiality or typically ‘Welsh’ colour palette of black, ecru and red; much hopefully, does not.
Built circa 1910 by the Jereckie Manufacturing Company, Erie, PA, this integral steam machine was used to cut threads in iron pipes for water or steam.
Sketching with thread....! I tried to use a continuous line but the thread broke! Experimenting with using watercolor.
At an auction I found a big bag full of colour coordinated sewing threads. Of course, I had to get them because of the wonderful colour combos!

The company I keep, from a few years ago, but still very much present. Now they are on my working table, always looking at me...
The other 36 skeins of embroidery thread that I finally got around to wrapping up. This time it only took 2.5 hours!

This interesting looking insect somehow managed to get past my flyscreen and trapped inside, where it later expired. I'd say it was somewhere between 1.5 and 2 inches, and quite creepy.
I needed a photo of "texture" for my Psych of Visual Communications HW this week. I ended up taking this shot of the ends of my scarves at around 3:30 in the morning.
