Touring Tom Sachs’ LEM

Welp, after sorting endless screws, Doc and I got in on the final tour of Tom Sachs’ plywood LEM at the YBCA for Space Program: Europa.

We were there on the Thursday before the final activation, so we got to see Sachs’ team working on everything, rehearsing, and bringing the helmets down

And, of course, since I’m a meany McMeansteen, I had to make goofy faces and photobomb Doc’s attempts to photograph the ATF cabinet

Frankenpeysa Sleeves!

With the winter break, I’ve been able to really make lots of progress on my knitting (and since I’m cat-sitting, there’s been a kitty to assist me)

She has been very helpful whenever I needed the yarn batted at or chewed on

As well as keeping my lap warm

So now, I have the trunk and the sleeves done! All I need to do now is join them and work the yoke. Hooray!

Working the sleeve
This is how sleeves are born

It will look something like this… except it will have both sleeves, and have a yoke, and be connected…
