Ruffle lace scarf
A knitter must know only four things: how to cast on, how to do a knit stitch, how to increase and how cast off. (You don’t even need to know how to purl.)  tep One. Gather your supplies: You’ll need 250 yards of yarn to make our nine-row, 60-inch scarf. The yarn called for in the pattern was a heavy worsted weight. I used a lighter, softer yarn, such as you would use for a...

Old family "roles" often stick for life
In my family, growing up I had the role assignment of “the wild one”. Looking back I wasn’t any more wild than most teenagers are, but I was very willful and that stood out (still does, sometimes). I smoked cigarettes, I liked drinking on weekends sometimes….That’s about the extent of it, though. My sisters did the same, or worse, but it wasn’t their...

Creating simplicity: How music fools the ear →
Comparing the amount of compressibility of random noise to a wide range of music including classical, techno, rock, and pop, it was found that, while random noise could only be compressed to 86% of its original file size, and techno, rock, and pop to about 60%, the apparently complex Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony compressed to 40%. Enduring musical masterpieces, despite apparent complexity,...
