Penumbral Lore; the Shadows of Science

Well, after completing NaBloPoMo I only magaged six posts in December.   That wouldn’t be too bad, except that all but one were in the first week in December…   lame.

I’ll try to post at least once a week from here on in.   We’ll see how that works.   I’ve got a couple more projects going now, and am considering starting a separate knit blog after all (but not sure if the low volume will make it worth while).  My current project is the Binary Scarf from knitty.com.   Only <knitgeek> I thought that knitting it in the round and then compressing it to a flat scarf would be a really annoying process.  Instead I cast 33 stitches on straight needles,  then kf&b each stitch.  Row 2 became k1sl1* across, and there I was, double knitting on flat needles.  Added the second color, hoping that it would dissappear on the slipped stitches and, you know what, it’s coming along just beautifully</knitgeek>, and I used an ASCII translator to encode the phrase “You have discovered the Secret Frequency“.

OK, enough about knitting.   The science story of the day is that asteroid 2007 WD5 probably won’t impact Mars at all.
