I presented the coloured sand jars before, where the sand turned out to be salt. And then I presented the underwater votive II.
The sand votives are a combination of both – and provide many possibilities for the use of colours :)

I love best the simplest ideas, e.g. these cardigan clips: simply join two clip-on earrings with a chain and the cardigan doesn’t fall apart anymore :)

By the way, did I mention already that my pattern generators (maze pattern generator, cellular automaton and random squares pattern generator) have been mentioned in a book? :))
I’ve read it and I also had fun with the rest of the book ;-)
I liked especially the (here already presented ;-)) crocheted hyperbolic planes and freeform work, knit-covered (computer)cords (similar to filled i-cord), yarn bombing and the secure password input, but also mobius shawls, klein bottle hats, hacked knitting machines and much more.
That reminds me, as I understand it ‘geeks’ are people who are not only superficially interested in a subject ;-)
See best for yourself, you can find more about as well as at the publishing house (O’Reilly) as well as at Amazon.de (Häkeln + Stricken für Geeks (book)und Häkeln + Stricken für Geeks (kindle))
