Unloved no more!

A parcel was waiting for me today, all the way from France! It is Yvette's unloved sock yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweit in a turquoise, yellow, green and white colour, I love it! This yarn was on my wishlist page for a while, this exact colour of this exact

New yarn

Got the new Patternworks catalog Monday, all glossy pictures of yarn and projects to tempt you away from the faithful UFOs waiting for your attention. Does anyone know the number of the colour of yellow, orange, blue, and green Koigu on the cover? I love the colours but I'

Valentine's Day random

Every year we've been in St Louis, we've gone to the same restaurant on Valentine's day: India Palace. They give you a carnation at the door, the food is heavenly, and you're on the top floor of a tower building, so you

Spam bait and fresh starts

I've temporarily removed the feedback form on this site, because some weasel spammer was abusing it to send me 50 emails a day. It'll come back when it's spam-proof. Even a humble PHP contact form isn't safe! I hate having to

Tuesday catch up

Got my Mac back on Friday, 20 days after they took it in for a three to five day repair. By a strange coincidence, the repair was completed 40 minutes before I called the repair centre on Thursday, and on a truck heading home by 8pm that night. I'

WIMPs to the rescue

BBC News: Dark matter comes out of the cold. Astronomers have for the first time put some real numbers on the physical characteristics of dark matter. This strange material that dominates the Universe but which is invisible to current telescope technology is one of the great enigmas of modern science.
