daily photo: Mar. 13th

We went to Uneeda Burger [1] here in Seattle to try to see if we could tell the difference between the regular patty and the grass-fed patty. We couldn't. But Lindy West could and her hilarious review [2] is worth reading even if you don't live close enough to try this place: "This cow ate only sweet grasses and sunshine. This cow was massaged daily by sexy cow concubines. This cow slept each night on a feather bed, spooning with the emperor of Whidbey Island himself. This cow moos rainbows."

Sally Cardigan KAL: Divide and conquer!

banner_KAL_sally_cardigan.gif

Once you reach the end of the yoke for your size, it's a good idea to first work the row where you place your markers for the sleeves, then transfer all your stitches to either waste yarn or a reeeeeeaaaallllly long circular needle and try it on. If you're using waste yarn, just thread a couple yards of scrap yarn onto a blunt yarn needle and slip all of the stitches right onto the waste yarn. If you're using a long circular that's the same sizes as your pattern needles, you can knit that marker placement row right onto the long needle (here's where a set of interchangable needles and a spare extra long cable is very handy).

The yoke should come to your armpits.

Since the fabric can roll up a bit, especially if you have it on a long circular needle as I did (it tends to behave more naturally on waste yarn, when it's not fighting the curl of a cable), and because this particular sweater is fitted, you might want to hold down the edge of the yoke at your pits when you check the fit. I pulled mine down just barely, since I know the fabric will relax just a hair after its bath. Working the whole thing chicken-arms fashion as I'm doing here also lets me try the fit of the shoulders with some action.

Dinosaur Inspiration

dinosaur_arms.jpg

Do we really know what dinosaurs looked like? Maybe the T-Rex didn't have stumpy little claw-arms. In this illustration, posted by apeox of Half Dracula Half Cinderella, there are some dinosaurs reimagined with beefier arms and big thumbs. I would enjoy seeing them embroidered on a pillow. Thumbs up.

Correction: Please excuse my dinosaur ignorance! Craft Facebook users Sarah and Anna point out that this is in fact a drawing of an iguanodon.
