  • Curious Coincidences

    Just a quick question this week. Why do so many librarians knit? Is it a stereotype because it’s so universal, or is it newly fashionable, or is it a secret interview question? Discuss amongst yourselves, and we’ll talk more about it later.

  • Sartorial Splendor, Jazzman Style…

    I found this man in my mailbox this morning and he made me swoon… http://video.nytimes.com/video/2012/06/14/arts/design/100000001604782/living-retro.html?nl=nyregion&emc=edit_ur_20120615 (Thank you, New York Times coverage)  

  • Ruled with needlework?

    In honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Jubilee (yes, a bit late), we offer you this: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3445_162-57446197/embroidering-royalty/?tag=showDoorFlexGridLeft%3BflexGridModule Note that FIT offers some embroidery classes as well, although nothing to rival the Royal School of Needlework.
