Still plodding through a long project that's on the computer, but mostly offline...

It's Joe Jackson's turn to repeat these tips for surviving this winter:
Knitting
I know how to knit socks. With or without seams, even. They have their appeal, as instant gratification projects; even a sweater/blanket knitter like me can make a pair of socks in a weekend if we want to. But there are, in the knitting universe, sock specialists whose socks lay mine in the shade. They don't even have to knit super-fancy socks. I know what Carol Fun's done here: bought two congenial skeins of space-dyed sock yarn and knitted them together. But I'm sure she had more fun doing it than I would've had.
You can buy her socks, and her quilts, if you want them. This is her blog, where she shares updates on her life and work, generally, with no nags to buy. On the blog there are links to her "store" site.

John Coltrane.
The Slits.
What do you think? My all-time favorite record album has been reposted on YouTube. It won't be there long, and the person who posted it has mixed up the order of the tunes and shoved in a lot of blather about "crypto," which you will need to click back to YT to skip...but this record is too good not to share. Buy your own copy, I think I'm on my third by now, after sampling.
Omaggi Musical. Not sure why YouTube shoved this piece at me, how much the composer paid them to do so. It's not music that has to be shoved at people.
The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.
