05:41 am - Things learned on Ravelry while awake at 5am
Shrinky-dink plastic now comes in sheets that can be run through a computer printer.

Calgary (where we're going for World Fantasy Con over Halloween) has apparently got some awesome yarn shops.

And a choice of Thursday night "sit & knit" groups -- coffee, or beer!

Debbie New had Skacel make a custom, 20-ft-long circular needle to use for one of her "labyrinth" sweaters. "She said it was not fun."

The authors of Mason Dixon Knitting are coming to Powell's on Burnside with their new book, next Monday night (October 13). I'm there! (Oh, bugger! David Macaulay is at the Beaverton store that same night. Have any of you seen him in person? Worthwhile?)

Here's his talk at TED -- about 20 mins, like all TED talks. I liked it.

Oh yeah! I still play with Shrinky Dinks, with the excuse that I use what I make for art trading cards.

By the way, it's easier to keep them from sticking when you put a bit of cornstarch on the tin foil. And when it starts to flatten, help it along by pressing a spatula down on it.
