The Best Thing I've Learned Today And a Tip

I promised myself that I wasn't going to post again until I was posting something I'd made (or at the very least I'm working on), but today has been an epic fest of suctackularity (that's a word, right?) so I'm cheering myself up with this fact: Dr. Ruth was a sniper in Israel.  I can't explain exactly why it cheers me up (Hey!  Way to go!  You can kill people AND give frank sex advice!), but it does.  (and no, this isn't another one of those "Mr. Rogers was a sniper and his cardigans covered the tattoos" things.)

Also, a tip that I've never seen anywhere and it's actually helped one person, so I'm going to pass it on, feeling rather clever that I thought of this on my own.  When the pattern directs you to knit until the piece measures (x) inches, just figure out your row gauge and you can keep clicking your row counter and it makes it go by faster and you don't end up with that black hole of knitting where it never gets any longer and then all of a sudden it's 2 inches too long (like the run on sentence you just read).  And if everyone already does that and this isn't such a novel tip, then never mind.

Dr Ruth, it does seem like a parallel universe thing doesn't it! I think she claims that while she was a sniper, she never killed anyone and her "career" was cut short by injury. Thanks for always giving us your insightful tips!

That actually makes me happy too. To know that ol' shorty's got some balls. Yeah, I think that's the reason why it makes me happy. :D
