Great idea for anyone who can't knit or doesn't have the time. I knit myself, and I am teaching myself to sew too, but I thought my mum, who is a granny herself, might like to audition for a spot on the knitting team, haha! Anyway, great concept, don't you think?<br /><br />[By the way, I am in no way affiliated with the 'grannies' site, just in case you thought I was making a plug] :o)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109785104252594410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241710623843639250.post-29461907170760605112013-02-07T14:01:26.178-08:002013-02-07T14:01:26.178-08:00OK, this one's a question rather than somethin...OK, this one's a question rather than something interesting, but I've always wondered why aeroplanes bank, rather than just making left or right hand turns at 90 degrees on the horizontal plane. I mean there's nothing in their way. Anyway if you know the answer to this one, it would be interesting.<br /><br />Apart from that, just had a look at the girls from By Hand via a very circuitous route through a myriad of blogs. Aren't they gorgeous? And the pencil skirt is perfect. Nice dress too. Hope they produce many more patterns.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12932941271891297975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241710623843639250.post-16005927743251856772013-02-07T11:48:55.013-08:002013-02-07T11:48:55.013-08:00I've been eyeing this pattern for awhile and I...I've been eyeing this pattern for awhile and I'd love to win it. <br />My interesting thing is that I had a baby recently. My third child and my first boy. He's about 5 weeks old. The most interesting thing about my baby (so far) is that I had a homebirth. <br />I don't know how common it is over there but here in the states, in my rural area specifically, its really a rare thing so its a kind of unique story he'll get to carry around with him for his whole life. <br />rachelannstott@yahoo.comRachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241710623843639250.post-60175442882345576152013-02-07T11:39:24.320-08:002013-02-07T11:39:24.320-08:00I got tagged to fill in as the instructor in a gra...I got tagged to fill in as the instructor in a graduate level course "Biological Processes in Waste Water Treatment".

Apparently, in New York, if you trip over and injure yourself due to a fault in the pavement you cannot sue unless the fault was on record by the city. Therefore, a group of lawyers employ a group of people every year to walk every street in New York City, record all cracked paving stones, unevenness etc and then they send the final report to the city. That way, if any New Yorkers do fall and injure themselves, the fault with the pavement is likely recorded and they will be able to sue.

Something interesting I heard recently was that the invention of sewing (and needles) is probably as important to the success of the human race as the discovery of fire, and most likely preceded it. It makes sense - without the ability to make clothes we could never have survived in such diverse environments. Oh, and my Mexican Red Knee-ed Tarantula is about to shed her skin - I can tell because she has changed colour.
