How Knitting Behind Bars Transformed Maryland Convicts
In late 2009, Lynn Zwerling stood in front of 600 male prisoners at the Pre-Release Unit in Jessup, Maryland. “Who wants to knit?” she asked the burly crowd. They looked at her like she was crazy.
Yet almost two years later, Zwerling and her associates have taught more than 100 prisoners to knit, while...

My concentration for AP 2-D Design is something along the lines of “Interior Medical Illustration and Design through Abstraction.”
Something like that.
But I have to come up with a way to actually observe real body parts.
So I get to go to the museum! And I’ll probably borrow a pig from Bio and Flagan has a real skeleton in a box somewhere. And then there’s the cow...

To apply for AP art I have to have 6 pieces done before the 17th.

I have one thing to finish at school on Monday and I started sketching out ideas for other things. I don’t know what the size requirements are because I make things fucking tiny.

I don’t want to draw a fucking picture of my face. I hate my face. I don’t want to have to sit and stare at it and see how fat and round it is. I don’t even like me, especially right now. Ugh.

Craft related stuff under the cut. Sort of.
Our group of friends did secret santas. Tuna got me. She bought me yarn! Not sure what kind because her dog had chewed off the label, but she rewound it nicely around ugly socks. And she got me one of those cheep pattern magazines with more ugly sock patterns. It was a lovely present. She always gets the best presents. In an odd way. For my birthday...

There should totally be knitting porn.
“OH BABY, SLIP MY TIGHT STITCHES PURLWISE! YES!”
And crochet porn. Treble-crochet porn would be all the rage. And granny square videos would be advertised as “mature squares.”
