What do you know, it's that time of the week again!
- Tubular Cast-On for 2x2 rib
- After the Sizzle fiasco, I got a fit fed up and cast on for something else: Emerald, solving all my dilemmas about starting Emerald or Wisteria (I'm still working on Sizzle, though). Wanting to do it properly, I decided to do a tubular cast on to make the edges nice, and this is the one I followed (the second method).
- Yarn fibres (jpg)
- Ever wondered how yarn looks amplified? Wonder no more! This picture compares how different yarn fibres look under the microscope, which in turn sheds some light about, say, why some fibres are slippery while others aren't.
- Real Jayne Hat for auction
- Adam Baldwin is auctioning on eBay the real Jayne Hat, with all proceeding going to charity (the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation). I don't have enough shiny pennies, certainly not for what it's going, but it is an awesome idea.
- Oooh, the little dragon
- I have a kitten named Dragon. Once I was reading a book, which featured a dragon named Kitten. I might have squeed.
- Container homes
- Hiro Protagonist, the main character of Snow Crash (which you should totally go and read, although beware that Neal Stephenson, while an amazing writer, does not believe in endings per se), lives in a shipping container, as do his entire neighbourhood. This company would make that possible. A small place, sure, but it doesn't look too horrible.
I think those container homes are just brilliant and I hope the company is successful. Personally, I've lived in places smaller than the container size mentioned and they were not nearly as nicely done as those container homes are!
