Itemized Lists Are Love
Item one! Duck eggs, I has them! Now what. 
jekesta says that they are ideal for making cake, but what else are they good for? Flan? Omlettes? French toast? Help me, o internets, otherwise they're going to end up like the eggs on my uncle's farm: admired and photographed and not used to their full potential.
Item Two! I am undertaking an experiment to see if Pouting To Get My Way will actually make the cinema pick up Jeunet's Micmacs. Because, dammit, he's back to his pre-Amèlie ways it looks like, e.g. tying Dominique Pinon to something and then blowing it up. And, dammit, my French needs practice. I demand films to practice on that I haven't seen a kerjillion times. If I have to pout my way into getting them, so be it.
Item Three! The Well-Heeled Spatterdashes pattern is now up on Etsy, for the non-Ravelers among you.
It began as excitement over a pair offered on the Anthropologie web catalogue back in the spring of 2007, and quickly turned into an immediate re-engineering project when the originals failed to live up to expectations. A pair went out to
electricwitch for her birthday, and several more false starts followed. I still had a lot to learn about yarn behavior and construction techniques. After a whole bunch of pestering from the internets, it finally saw the light of day this spring. Then there was typefetting to cope with and a photoshoot to set-up. And that is how I ended up trying to convince northerners in June to want glorified buttoned legwarmers. (My austral friends, you are so much easier to win over this time of year.)
For further backstory, see also: FILE UNDER: SPATTERDASHES
And that's that. I will shut up about them now. Scout's honor.
(I'm . . . still kind of shaken by the imitation sheep-pig from the last post, actually. It's crazy.)
