Oh, Julie, there was an MTV live version, so I saw it on TV back in the day. If you hunt You Tube it may have been uploaded there. It's great fun. Future Tony winner Christian Borle is in it.

Are wooden needles an option here? Possibly a size down to, to account for drape/single ply. But I've found wooden needles can be really helpful with slippery fibers so you can keep even tension.

It happened to me. The restaurant called it a vegetarian wonton and yeah, I was quite dismayed.

Yarn twins! I just finished a sweater in that yarn. Colorwork in fizzy yarn is not for the faint of heart. Great job!

Ilya Rozanov - Gay (Bi) or European
YouTube video by Fandom Chaos Ilya Rozanov - Gay (Bi) or European

Well the Heated Rivalry fan edit set to Gay or European* from the "Legally Blonde" musical is a convergence of my interests.

*The song is actually called "There! Right There!".

Sweater theme is very timely, since I finished the One Yoke I was working on. Details in alt text. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧢

Breaking my self imposed superstitious sports silence, to say the Caps traded who away?!? This would be extremely relevant to the story I am polishing, but really, I'm old enough to remember other heartbreaking trades. I needed no new inspo!

I have not unsubscribed from the Glassdoor reviews of my former employer, so sometimes I get an alert that someone left a review when they listed as a pro: they have W2s.

Not much accumulation, but it was fun to watch it fall.

House Republicans have just introduced a bill that would result in a NATIONWIDE book ban. Oh, the bill is also specifically transphobic. Contact your House Rep and ask them to publicly oppose this legislation. A few more thoughts in the thread about this action. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

My cat apparently only noticed the window was open when I closed it, and I have been given such a look of betrayal.

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

NEW: Amazon is telling people who use its wishlists feature to switch to post office boxes or non-residential delivery addresses if they want to ensure their home addresses remain private, as part of a change in how it processes gifts bought from third-party sellers.
