Heads up - American Horror Story has gone the supremely annoying Survivor route of retitling for the new season, so if you have a season pass set for American Horror Story it will not pick up American Horror Story: Asylum tonight.

Well, my complicated sock project is turning out oddly. I had started out on 1s using the larger size in the pattern. What I got was waaay too small - so I frogged and re-cast on with 2. Still using the large size of the pattern (are alarms going off somewhere?) - so the first sock is GINORMOUS and I messed up the pattern somehow because it is also very odd. Very odd. I've cast on the 2nd sock on 2s but the smaller size. I'm going to see if I can figure out where I went wrong with the pattern - but it could be that pattern is too much for me.

I intend to bring pattern and socks to knitting groups for consultation.

If I start watching Nikita tonight, will I have a lot of trouble understanding the backstory?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I doubt it. The few episodes I watched out of order told me everything I needed to know as I went. Jump right in!

But catch up on the first two seasons when you get a chance, because they are good.

Thrive to spite them

so hive mind question for knitters-

Does anyone know of a pattern (preferably vintage) for a woman's dress that's A line and short sleeve and falls below the knee?

There was a customer in the yarn ship today looking for one, she's getting married this summer and wants to knit her own dress (if the pattern is simple enough).

Is this the kind of thing she's looking for?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am pretty sure there are several in the Good Housekeeping Needlecraft Magazines from the early 70's, but I don't have them anymore.

Actually, I lied- it is the McCall's Needlworks and Crafts from the early 70's She might like this one: [link]

She's looking for something a lot simpler-

something more like this [link] but for an adult.

She's going to make it herself and she's not sure she can handle lacework. The vintage part seemed important, so something that either is or looks vintage.
