2015 APL: Three new publications on 2015-07-26

The first publication is a Berlin woolwork pattern. Iva Innocenti donated the scan, and Steven Stephan made a color chart and a symbol chart for it. Actually, the roses are only half of the donated pattern, but the other half is a bit more difficult to work out and it will follow later. Because Steven […]

2015 APL: Three new publications on 2015-07-06

Reminder: If you have a lovely item of needlework, from which a pattern could be reconstructed, you might consider taking proper pictures and let us have them, with permission to publish. That’s what I’m asking of ebay sellers who have an item that’s too expensive for us (or just too big to ship, like a […]

2015 APL : Three new publications on 2015-06-14

Before I get into the new publications, another remark first (just to make sure everybody reads it, since not everybody reaches the last paragraph. Actually, do read the last paragraph this time…) If you have a lovely item of needlework, from which a pattern could be reconstructed, you might consider taking proper pictures and let […]

2015 APL: Three new publications on 2015-06-08

This week, again three new publications. It looks like I’d best return to the two/three publications at-a-time schedule.

This week, only three new publications – sorry, there have been too many other things interfering.  But they are three lovely ones, and I hope they inspire people to take up a needle and thread – or a blackboard chalk. PUBLICATIONS The first on the list is Cusack’s Blackboard Drawing. It’s a training course for […]

2015 APL: Eight new publications on 2015-04-07

Another eight publications this weekAnd drat, I forgot the rice paper flowers! That’s for next time. Judith pointed out to me that my administrative backlog is worse than the publication backlog, so next time will have less publications than this one – but they will all get done (eventually). First, a bit of a riddle […]

A Night at the Virtual Theater

We had ourselves a time last night, we did.It started rough. I get to the theater an hour before curtain, Sam is there, we’re rezzing our avatars and costumes into the sim, I’m checking the set. Then I try to use my microphone. Nothin. I didn’t panic, at first. I hear Sam fine, he can’t […]
