Tiny review - Musgrave Test Scoring 100

February 8, 2016

I both love and hate this pencil. I love the way it writes - dark and smooth but not smeary. But it makes the skin on my hand itchy when held for any length of time and the hex is too sharp. *sigh* Review written in a Story Supply Co pocket notebook.

Tiny review - Blackwing 725

February 5, 2016

I'm a big fan of the Blackwing Pearl, so I also like the 725. Except that mine looks like someone bit it, so I don't know what happened there... Paper used is a Story Supply Co pocket notebook.

Tiny review - Ticonderoga Groove

February 4, 2016

I didn't expect to like this pencil. I really don't enjoy the looks or hand-feel, but it is a great writer so I can overlook some aesthetic issues. Review done in a Story Supply Co pocket notebook.

Sometimes, I take pictures of things...

Just finished my first pair of “work socks” here in AL! These have lived in my desk drawer since the start of the year and I get a few rows done when I’m in meetings or debugging code. The stripes matching up after the gusset was 10
Spherical farm animals found in the wild!
New podcast is up! Wherein I only talk about ~one~ project and why I’m going to shift my focus to being a very monogamous knitter for a while. Curious? Links to everywhere you can find it are in my profile. :-)
The body is finished! I kitchenered all 221 stitches of ribbing to the bottom because apparently I hate myself *a lot* but I really like how clean the bottom edge looks.
