Ah, I love John Scalzi.



An awesome takedown of a dudebro who thinks 'feminist' is an insult. Also hilarious.


In other news, I finished my 'Metallurgy' shawlchen, and it is beautiful. Knitted, I must surely remind you, in 'baby camel and silk', so it was lovely to knit and is lovely to stroke.



Close-up of the border, which was a 44-line repeat—so even though it is only 27 stitches wide it took a lot of concentration and quite a long time.



This involved quite a lot of knitting and purling into the back of the stitch, but it is basically the reason why I decided to knit this particular pattern. It's so unusual and such a modern design.

Go me!

The border is beautiful! (I am impressed by your mad skillz in not losing the plot and also where you were in the pattern!)

Thank you! I had to devise a 'through the letterbox" means of working down the lines of the pattern, and put large arrows whenever I put the work down. It's very cool to knit.

Your shawl looks lovely! The yarn looks yum.

[pensnest]

It's a treat to work with, really. I shall probably succumb to more, next time I see some.

That shawl is gorgeous!

I shall have to reinvent myself as A Person Who Wears Shawls and Scarves. They're fun to knit...

Gorgeous! Totally impressed! Wants to pets it.

Thank you! It is, indeed, entirely pettable. The yarn is lovely to work with, too.

That pic made me giggle. And it's totally true, pastels do very nasty things to his complexion :-)

Wonderful shawl. The yarn is absolutely fabulous. Definitely go you!!
