Today's TL cleanse is brought to you by a mix & match order from the #BookofKells collection. This order was cash/sock.

An order of "Seafoam Warrior" in lace weight alpaloop and bobble chunky. A mix of thin and thick yarn that will work up in different but really cool ways. Based on a warrior from the #BookOfKells this is a gorgeous sea breezy colorway.

I can't wait to see how these work up. 🧶

I review Victoria Whitworth’s new book on the #BookofKells held at @tcddublin.bsky.social. Whitworth’s study is sumptuously produced and a fascinating read. I’m just not crazy about the title…

Medieval emoji culture is real.
I give you the itchiest inhabitants of the Book of Kells, because even in a Gospel, there’s room for a joke.

I'm revisiting Donncha MacGabhann's chapter in 'Medieval Humour: Expressions, Receptions and Functions' and I am having great fun.

Continuing our guided info tour of the #BookOfKells
🔥 Scribe’s Ember 🔥

The ms dazzles w/ a riot of color, pattern, & imagination. In the illuminated detail that "Scribe's Ember" is inspired by, a figure emerges from a maze of spirals, knotwork, & interlacing curves. 🧶

The Book of Kells is one of the greatest works of calligraphy. Most people go wild for the extraordinary, almost hallucinogenic illustration, but I also love the script - sinuous, bold, and the work of very skilled scribes. This is a page I copied as an exercise last year. #bookofkells
