Victory! by
No Name
In the knitting it got dirty, so I washed the "great gansey". While being
blocked it seemed to have all the virtues of wet sheet rock.
Ah, but when I finally put it on, I understood, "This is how the fishermen
stayed warm while fishing" (before synthetics.) This is how one can
comfortably nap on...

Expensive knitting needles by
Faberge made jeweled knitting needles for ostentation. Some had the size
color coded by the large solitaire diamonds or rubies or emeralds set on the
end -- but, most of the real hand knitting in those households was done by
craftsmen (and servants) using steel needles. (Turns out that gold,...

Authoritative sources?! by

Authoritative sources?!
The first day of chemistry, Dr. Long said, "Read chapters 1,2 & 6 of the
text with great care. There will be a quiz!" The correct answer for the
quiz was, " The textbook is wrong, there is an error in the calculus". Out
of a class of some 470, more than 300 flunked that...

found a lovely stola with sleeves by
Els van Dam
While in Toronto, my daughter's neighbour came over to show her new
purchase. It was a very fine machine knitted black stola about 120 inches
long and about 30 inches wide. Off center, about 5 inches from the top
were two tight fitting sleeves set in. The design is so simple, it is
easy to knit...

OT - Self service cash registers by

Hi,
When we were discussing Walmart's prices in another thread, I began to
think about the check-out lines. We have many, although they only open
2 or 3 with acutal human cashiers. Most remain closed. They have 6
self-cash outs manned by one cashier always open! Of course, the lines

middle-aged white lady isn't insulted by that image is quite beside the
