The more I knit, the more I learn. I had heard the term "Russian join" bandied about, but I never knew what it meant until today. Oh, sweet sweet Russian join. In other news, do you want to see something funny? Do you want to see something weird? If you answered 'yes' to both these questions (and you live in the Seattle area), get yourself over to Circus Contraption's Grand American Traveling Dime Museum before they go to NYC at the end of July. I went this weekend on the recommendation of my brother, and it's indescribable. Sometimes I like doing things just so that I have something to talk about at work on Monday. This fits the bill.
