f(yarn)=knitting+life

It's a new blog! Maybe I'll stick with this one for awhile.

Story time! Do you want to know the meaning of my blog name? No? Tough. It's so nerdy that it will make your head pop. In my head, knitting is all math, but not in the normal sense of counting stitches and whatnot. In math, a function is "an abstract entity that associates an input to a corresponding output according to some rule" (wikipedia.com). When yarn is used in function notation (in my head, of course), an input of yarn gives an output of knitting plus life. But wait! We don't have yarn in the right hand side of the equation! Well, when you remember that knitting=yarn+pointy sticks, then you DO have yarn on the right hand side of the equation and it all works out nicely.

My mom needed a bumper sticker that said "My math nerd's logic beat the shit out of your athlete's brain."

My blog really does't have a point. I like math and I like to knit. Those two things seemed like a good starting point. WIP's to follow later after I get everything set up.

How I got to your blog is wondering about home schooling=ravelry=home schooling=an adult home schooled. I love your mom's comment, she must be a lovely human in her own right.

On education, I was the youngest of 4 and was told school is where you get knowledge. When I was in my first day of school and I asked the teacher which hole the human being came out of and got told never to ask such a nasty question again, I kind of figured I had been lied to and now at 66 I know I was lied to.

As to soy versus animal raw milk, please research. Men do not need all the estrogen in soy (nor do women unless they are in menarche). I raise goats and drink the milk. My goats have the best life possible and so do I because I take no so-called medications and have perfect blood chemistries. Read Sally Fallon's web site and Weston Price's monumental work on natural food.
