-The Local Yarn is my garden: a garden of thinking and code. It’s tailored to my needs as a guy who
-likes thinking, writing and publishing, isn’t an expert on anything, misses enchantment, and who
-likes things to look nice. It’s a place to experiment and solve problems and be creative on several
-levels at once. (You’re looking at one of the lower levels right now.)

-Whatever gets done here, the idea is to:

-  @item{Invite and reward exploration; entice the visitor to go @italic{further up and further in}}
-  
-  @item{Make lush, prolific and expert use of language and typography, even obscure or gratuitous
-  variants, purely for their own sake}
-
-  @item{Grow and connect new ideas, and maintain older growth}

-New areas are always being designed and added. I try to do some cyclical planning, but most of it
-comes from iterative, deeply lazy, center-building iteration.

-Let’s build on the garden metaphor: this place is groomed like a garden. All the lofty notions above
-— creative processes, design principles — are, in the end, underpinned by a stable of imperfect old
-tools and machines. Anyone who works on the garden must learn and practice their use, understand how
-to maintain them, and (eventually) when to replace them. Details of this maintenance are discussed
-in Tools and Methods.
