theyellowhobbitI finished Shlomo's kippah today, finally. It was actually pretty easy to do, since Hebrew letters don't require so many changes of color, especially when they are block letters. And if you do them enough you start to memorize the patterns.
It says "ח חי חיי חיים מבריסק" which is a parody of the "נ נח נחמ נחמן..." kippot. I think it's pretty shiny.
And I think I'll have to put a limit on my commisions for now, beyond those that have already been commissioned. Coming up next: finishing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kellev's kippah, which is about 7 lines from done!
In other news, National Geographic is doing a special on "In Search of the Lost Ark." Oh, silly National Geographic. At least they had the common sense to not use the modern Hebrew alphabet in the depiction of the 10 commandments.
Yes, archaeology really is Indiana Jones. Except with patiches instead of whips.

Date: 2006-12-20 03:01 am (UTC)Well, I'm new here, so you'll have to remind me which is which - as in, which posts go to which of your theesees. Hee hee. :o)
I wrote my thesis in the history dept (although it should've been a polisci paper, but never mind), and my advisor was Dr. Lynn Hunt, who is now at UCLA. NO ONE wanted to be my reader for a modern israeli politics paper - Ian Lustig wouldn't do it because it was a "history" paper and he did "polisci," grr.... So Palestinian professor Bashara Doumani was my reader. He said my paper was biased.
Did I tell you my paper was on modern popular opinions and the changing presentation of history of the Golan Heights? It was called "Politicized History: Israeli Popular Opinion on the Golan Heights." Uh... it was a theses ABOUT bias!!!!
Anyway.

Are in the market for an Avraham Shemaya miBrooklyn kippah? (That would be amusing to crochet)
Awesome.
