There was a movie I saw once, I think called Pi, where a guy got so awesome at math from studying the Torah that he could sense every pattern on earth. It drove him to self-trepanation. My takeaway from the movie? The Torah wouldn't fit on a floppy. This is why I should start shopping for a dremel of my own.
Today's Connection-- Gauge Swatches are the QA of Knitting.
I do QA for a living. I also do my little swatches as soon as I get some yarn. However, I got some superspecial hand-dyed yarn. It's rayon-cotton-linen and I thought I'd do an open wrap in a seafoam stitch, lenghtwise. (Cast-on 296 stitches! Cast-off 296 stitches! Pure madness.) So I did my swatch with some practice yarn. I essentially went down my least favorite crazypath from work- Sub Standard Test Environment. On Purpose! I deserve a dopeslap for this.
