Rafn Knit/Hack Sweater: Sleeve One Complete

Hooray, I finished the first sleeve in just over a day! Further, it reached the desired circumference and the desired width at just the same time, which is a warm and fuzzy feeling, AND came to the end of a (34-row) knot motif, which seems some kind of bloody miracle.

It took just shy of one skein, the rest of which I applied to the main body: it didn't quite make it to the end of a (28-row) knotwork motif before I ran out of the skein. Between the tag ends left after both sleeves, I think I'll just about manage, at which point I get to join sleeves to body.

Oracular Seið with Seiðjallr
Saturday 09:00 PM San Martin/San Simeon

Now, as in the ancient North, seers and seeresses journey to the spirit world to find answers to our questions. This practice comes from the heathen tradition, but all are welcome. The energy of the group strengthens the divination. This session is limited to 60 people. For more information about Seidh, see www.seidh.org

(group bio)
Seidhjallr has served the Pagan community by presenting Oracular rituals in the Norse tradition since 1991. Based in the East Bay, it is associated with Hrafnar kindred. www.seidh.org

Pagan Fiber Arts
Sunday 03:30 PM San Jose

Do the voices in your head, no longer content with spending all your money, now encourage you to buy unusual implements with which to manipulate ever-more-exotic fibers, like seaweed? This panel is open to anyone with interest or experience in any of the fiber and textile arts as applied to their personal magical and/or spiritual practice. At least half of this panel will be devoted to show and tell among the audience, so if you've done something cool, please come and share ow you did it! Lorrie will also report on her recent adventure at the Nordic Knitting Conference.

Silicon Spirits
Monday 11:00 AM San Juan

"Don't anthropomorphize computers. They hate that." Have you named every device in your personal data cloud? Can you describe their personalities? Many of us suspect that computers are inherently magical--but some of us know it. Come hear Lorrie's war stories about her adventures in pagan computing and her speculations about the Worlds' Wyrd Web, and share your own...
