Mnemonic for Middle Egyptian Alphabet
The vulture from the reed leaf flew
And landed on the reed leaf two
The arm which reached the quail chick's foot
Then reached a stool and on it put
A horned viper!
The owl above the water swooped
It's mouth as an enclosure drooped
And dropped the rope - a big descenta!
Upon the floating there placenta.
Animal bellies and bolts of doors
And folded cloth may be in stores
But pools and hills and basket lands
Are seldom far from old jar-stands.
A loaf of bread is not a hobble
A hand can't make a cobra bobble!
Socks
It is 3 pm and time for another post. I am taking a break from reading and studying for awhile to knit. I am working on my second pair of socks using 4 dpn's and this yarn is 25% wool. I consider my first pair to be a "swatch". I had no idea about the construction of socks and had never used more than 2 needles at a time before. There are many mistakes but I am quite proud of that first pair just the same.

Impressive. I've been working on my first attempt at knitting. It was supposed to be a scarf, but it looks more like a slightly rectangular blob :/
