    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    Knit a couple of stitch samples. All my current projects are done, and I'm going to a yarn store tomorrow for yarn to knit a hat for a friend who will lose her hair to chemo. I went into knitting withdrawal! I took a long nap. I'm hoping the chickens go to roost early so I can lock them up...

    BYC's Random Funny Posting Thread! Hosts Mike & Sally

    Growing up in the 60s and 70s, if we said, "That's not fair!" my mom would say, "Life isn't fair," and that was the end of our TED talk. :lau

    Cool! You're so welcome. I hope you like it. The author really spells out how to do the brioche stitch from the very beginning. I had knit a plain scarf and a couple hats, but she has taken this stitch from very basic to absolute wow.

    When I was in my first apartment, the power went out during a thunderstorm. The next morning, I called a friend and asked if I could flush the toilet. Friend: (silence) Uh... yeah... why are you asking? Me: Because the power's out. Friend: So??? What does that have to do with flushing the...

    I order print books through Thriftbooks.com and Abebooks.com. They're sometimes used, but in good shape. Here's a link to the book I mentioned. Knitting Fresh Brioche I read most of my books on a Kindle nowadays. But I prefer reference and how to books to be in print.

    If anyone's wondering what I mean by a magnet cup this is it. To empty, slide the cup off the base, and it's no longer magnetic, so all those pulled staples will fall right in the trash. So much better than putting them in my pocket. Ask my fingers!

    Phone charged. Kindle, WiFi hotspot, computer, ditto. Jug of water for chickens* in the morning. Water bottles filled. There's gas in the gas can, and some in the generator. That's about all I can do to prepare for a power outage, which we might get with the winds that are on their way. *When...

    The technique is called brioche knitting, worked with two colors. The sides have the colors reversed. The pattern is similar, but has some differences. This pattern is from Nancy Marchant's book, Knitting Fresh Brioche. That woman is the Queen of brioche IMO. Her designs are stunning. If you...

    What made you happy today?

    Sunshine made me happy! Cold, a bit windy, but clear and sunny. I also finished the POC (proof of concept) hat I was knitting. It could have been a total POC (piece of crap), but it worked out ok. It needs some tweaks, but the idea works, which is what I needed to know. I won't post a picture...
