In the past week or so, I wrote and published four new Squidoo lenses. Writing for Squidoo is addictive … I get an idea and feel compelled to write about it. The ideas are slowing down a little, which means I have time to record them so I’ll remember them.
Seven Hot Scientists
Several years ago, I started a line of graphic designs featuring scientists and inventors. In order to showcase these people, I wrote this lens. It features capsule biographies of each scientist, books for kids and adults, a selection of my portrait merchandise, and one showcase item for each. As usual there are interactive elements and a comment area.

Pi Day
I love Pi Day. It’s the only official holiday that honors a number, and math. In this lens I discuss the history of Pi Day, and some fun ways to celebrate, including throwing hot dogs (seriously!).
Addi Knitting Needles
I’ll be honest and say this is purely a sales lens, designed to make it easy for people to find and purchase Addi knitting needles. Addis are some of the best needles available, and I go over which type will work best for any project, and what sizes are available in which styles. If you knit, this lens is an excellent reference, even if you don’t buy from it (though I hope you do).
Perle Cotton for Knitters
Yes, I’ve become the Knitting Lady at Squidoo. This lens is almost all information, about the many ways a knitter can use perle cotton to substitute for other knitting tools. Click on over and take a look.
