Larger "Dayflower" knitting stitch pattern chart

larger-dayflower, originally uploaded by fuzzyjay.

The original 'Dayflower' knitting stitch pattern, from Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns, is very pretty, but published only as written instructions.

I figured out how to chart it, and from that chart I have now derived a slightly larger version of the stitch pattern. I'm knitting it up now (2010-09-14) to see how it will come out.

Mind Hacks: Against narrativity

that special, fabulously misplaced confidence that people feel when, considering elements of their own experience that are existentially fundamental for them, they take it that they must also be fundamental for everyone else.

Perfecting the perpendicular pickup -- just the video, ma'am

via youtube.com

I uploaded my latest video to YouTube, and I requested that YouTube create a machine-transcribed caption file for it. Wow, pretty amusing. As in all machine transcriptions, it was pretty weird. Could have something to do with my mumbling, maybe.
Anyway, I downloaded edited that file and uploaded the real thing. I am all about the closed-captioning. I love me some deaf knitters, and knitters who don't speak English as a first language will probably have better luck understanding the captions than my slurry words.
Does anybody use an on-line service for this? I remember reading something about Google making it easier to caption their videos, but my Google-fu is not working for this.
