What did you rediscover today?

(I don't think we've got one of these ...)

Yesterday (but it was today when I thought we should have a thread about it!) I rediscovered how to embroider French Knots. The theory seems unworkable, but in practice they're pretty neat!

Limey, you're so good at the needle arts it becomes ho hum to you, just another job you did well. Then you discover, or in this case rediscover, something different, the excitement of something exotic, something French, energizes your inner artist bringing the pleasure of creativity back into play. The feedback of dopamine to the Prefrontal Cortex as a response to creativity causes the phenomenon scientists call 'mo be betta', when the search for more dopamine results in applying creativity to other endeavors such as music, cooking, and relationships. Things like household routine do give some feedback but the greatest dopamine pump has always been creativity in relationships with others. Primarily creativity with anyone who happens to be conveniently available, around the house, in situ, and horny.

I can't say that household routines have ever given me that sort of feedback (apart from that one time when I was sitting on the washing machine during the spin cycle ...)

Perhaps riding around Wal-Mart on electric buggy was a strenuous workout. Maybe temperature in room has an effect on scales.????

Well done, glatt. I had my suspicions, but you got 'im!

limey, I heard about this outfit on the radio the other day and thought of you. Perhaps you've already heard of them, but if not, consider this a Prediscovery.

I don't know if french knots are applicable, but I do think this is something that matches up neatly with many of your talents and interests.

Gravdigr · 10-31-2015, 03:39 PM

That's fairly awesome.

limey · 10-31-2015, 03:42 PM

I knew about these. Maybe we need to start up a companion site about knitted knuts?
