I presented a lot concerning ’embroidering paper’, the embroidered note books fit great there ;-)

Well, hot dogs with spaghetti are not exactly my favourite dish ;-), but if they’re served as hot dog octopusses…

Recently I presented a lot of generators, later I learned about the Love Song generator.
Great!
The Love Song has nine verses and you can let them sing in different languages, you only have to drag the language from the list on top with the mouse to the verse below and when you have finished, you click the play button.
In the German version the chorus is sung in German, in the English version in English.
I once composed a song that was sung mostly in ancient languages, e.g. ancient Egyptian(!), Latin and ancient Greek ;-))
Actually the Love Song generator is meant to send your sweetheart a Love Song, but it’s also a wonderful toy ;-))

Sometime soon spring begins and as far as I’m aware it is nest-building time ;-)
Then it’d be nice to supply the birds with some nest-building material ;-)

If you work with yarns you must sometimes join two ends, e.g. if the yarn broke, the ball is finished or the like.
With some (nature) yarns you can ‘cold felt’ them, with others it doesn’t work.
Recently I learned about the braided yarn join and it seems to work great, many think it’s the best for joining fine yarns.

If you sit a lot (e.g. because you want absolutely to finish a shawl ;-)), you can easily get pain in the arms, wrists, shoulders, neck…
;-)
If you stretch a little in between, it won’t get so severe, I’ve tried it before ;-)

I don’t knit socks ;-), but if I did, I’d simply make my sock blockers to present the socks from cardboard, too.
But I’d never have had the idea to embellish them with paper napkins ;-))

Well, I never realized that you can expose the pattern colour more or less when knitting with two-colours!
But the picture persuades me and that will be the next thing that I will try out ;-)
