a sampling of the ceramic masks hanging on my backyard fence. The masks are made by a local potter named Faye. I’m attempting to transfer the Voodoo Mask idea into knitting. And I’m working with shades of brown.

Knitting Challenge May 30, 2018
Here’s a challenge. I’m trying to think of a way I can express an idea in knitting. In weaving this would be easy. But how to create or suggest an idea or an image through knitting. I like to emphasize colors or rather I prefer to use greens and browns.
Thinking out loud – I suppose some of the lace stitches or cables could be used.
One idea – an image suggesting mushrooms in the forest
Genealogy Compulsions
my ancestor count – it’s over 14,000 now and I keep finding more – they are coming out of the woodwork
annotated list of immigrant ancestors – I am adding both names and annotations to this list also I currently have identified over 300 
following up on clues – some surprising, some misleading, some leading to further treasures,
background reading – immersing myself in American and English history
p.s. not genealogy but knitting is another compulsive activity – here is my latest in my series of hats 
maybe I could try to find out how many of my ancestors were knitters
