I bought a fleece.
Me, a total n00b, who owns no drum carder or even hand cards (yet) bought a 13 freakin’ pound fleece.
It seemed like a good idea at the time (right, Kim?)
The good news: It’s gorgeous, and in good shape (I think, but what do I know?) and washes up beautifully based on [...]
Current Mood: EmbarrassedSo I was all bragging at S’nB last week about how my sock was a big favorite and had over 100 favs. Woohoo, I’m a rock star—blah, blah, blah. Then I went home and, as a treat to myself, was going to bask in my rock-starness, when what should great me [...]
and, truly, I’m feeling quite stupid.
So I learned that ssk is exactly the same as k2tog tbl. This just dawned on me today as I was working a lace pattern from the book Omas Strickgeheimnisse and wondering why she never uses ssk and only k2tog tbl and then, DUH.

THE GOOD
The new hard drive was covered under warranty
Files were backed up to an external hard drive
THE BAD
The last backup was February 23
How well the backup worked remains to be seen
Nothing was retrievable from the original hard drive
THE FUGLY
The images from Open Mic were lost, save for [...]
This “lovely” vest is one of the first things I ever knit, way back in 2002, and as I was knitting I awaited the moment I could wear it with sweet anticipation. Sadly, it went horribly wrong, but I was so inexperienced I kept myself in denial until the very end.
I learned a [...]
This is one of the smarmiest and most cynical pieces of bullshit ever created to manipulate young women. An age-old ruse packaged in an acoustic guitar ballad crooned by two romantic long-hairs. Ick.
I was dismayed to hear a cover for this song on Friday at the high school where I teach. Three young [...]
Sometimes I just can’t resist.
Ah, the Ravelry forums. Good times.
ETA: here’s the link for the thread, if you’re interested.
I find it amusing that my comment now has agree (29) and disagree (1)
