- I picked up some T-pins today, for blocking later.  Blocking will be easier than I thought, which is a relief.  Today on awesome - having a half-sized ironing board.  (Thanks again, jasra!)  That way I can pin the pieces down one at a time, then prop it up on top of the dryer, away from the cats.

- This yarn is taunting me.  I really want to make a nice tank top for myself.  Curse you all, shades of blue!!  *whimperwhimperwant*  And it's only $1.98/skein!  At a running average of needing 500-600 yards (based on the 5 or so I liked from knitty.com), that comes to, what, $12-14?

*dies of want*

- Okay, okay, first I make this tank top with this lovely brown cotton faux-tape yarn I got from the Goodwill ages ago.  Or a skirt, I can't recall which I wanted.  I'm idly contemplating making a nice skirt, copper satin slip underneath this lovely brown knitted shell, and selling it on etsy.com, because I don't wear that stuff.

- I totally am getting a virtual machine dealie going with Microsoft Bob on it.  *glee*

- In other random news, and I SWEAR to you I'm not making this up - remember how I commented on this skull and crossbones thing having 13 sections?  Well, there are also 65 rows.  I didn't plan this!  *entertained*

I don't get it... 13, okay, but what's special about 65?

65 = 13 * 5 !!!

I didn't get it at first, but once explained you win at the awesome even more.

Nope, still don't get it.

I had a hamster named Five, and it's a lovely number, but what makes it special in this context?

Aren't other low primes equally lovely?

Or are you just enamored of all multiples of thirteen?

They are, but this is specific for the skull 'n' crossbones knitty thing, where there are 13 sections, and 13*5 rows.
