What was it I said about not knitting?

For some reason, every time I manage to convince myself that I'm having a knitting hiatus, I decide that I want to make something ridiculous. In this case, a shawl. It's a very nice shawl, but I did spend quite a bit of time making it instead of sewing up bookblocks or gluing cases.

Too bad.

On the other hand, man, I am so looking forward to experimenting with medieval binding structures. It does mean that I have to find someone with quarter sawn boards and a router ...

Photographic Evidence of the Ugliest Makeready:

I had to think quite hard about whether or not I wanted there to be evidence of something so ... egregious. Maybe this will encourage me to be more careful.

What have I been doing?

Discovering that sometimes h looks just like b.

Also, that I still lack whatever skillset it is that allows people to clean ink rollers without simply transferring the ink to themselves.

Doing the worst makeready ever.

Printing a linoleum block on my very own press. (Soon to be business cards, as soon as I decide what text and what font to use.)

(Failing completely to make books.)
