Love Inks = Wave Goodbye

The Yarnpath →
If you ever find yourself needing to recover a dropped stitch on your knitting without a crotchet hook like I just did, follow this bad boy.
I recovered it back to front somehow though; anyone know how I should have done it to get the stitches on the right side? I have been alternating knit-purl rows.

July CDs
Welcome to my new monthly post series: CDs wot I bought just after getting paid, where I attempt to sound like I know about music by writing two sentences about each of my new CDs.

Historic Usenet Server to be Shut Down →
leymoo:
Hah. As a wide-eyed stroppy teenager tied to my modem about 12 years ago, it was usenet that brought the internet alive to me: aspirational, intelligent discourse with a generous dash of smut that went waay over my head. Much like sneaking into a bar underaged for the first time and watching people complain about lives you haven’t started yet.
