This week I finished my whale: I ended up taking it apart and redoing it multiple times. I got halfway done and the pattern said to do a row of BLO (back loop only). I looked up what that was and realized I had been doing a BLO stitch the entire time! The first half

Continue readingParticipation and the New Age of Technology
On the rise is a new age of technology which is rethinking and reimagining how we participate with and utilize technology as a whole.

Knitting this past week has turned into a true test of my patience. When I first picked up the needles and yarn from the store, I sat on the couch, extremely eager to get knitting away. I had little to no problems regarding the skills I was attempting to learn: the slip knot, casting on, and the knit stitch. Within a day of learning, I had a small patch that I had knitted just as practice. I set the knitting…
