And The Handmaid's Tale was supposed to be fiction. But here we are.

They just couldn't write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.

When did "call in" change to "call out"? And why? You "call in" to work to tell them you will be out.

It feels like it was in the last 5 years or so, but all the new people (younger than me) at work now say "call out," and I don't understand the lexicon shift.

Google tells me that "#4 Worsted" yarn weight in America equals "Aran" weight in the UK and Europe. Is that helpful?

Also, cotton feels really nice, but it's not going to have the same kind of drape that wool or even acrylic might have, or what I would want in a cardigan. (But you're not me, so...) I've had good luck with superwash wool from Knitpicks. I've made a cardigan and a sweater with it. I spent about $100 US on a booty length cardigan amount of yarn (knit, not crochet, if it matters), so your price quote for floor length seems about comparable.

If you're in the UK, knitpicks.com will ship to you. Doesn't look like they go to Europe though. :(

I hope any of that helps some. Good luck on your cardigan adventure!

That's the prequel movie. The one where you see the beginnings of, uh, head dictator guy who starts the hunger games. (I didn't watch it.)

I agree. I knew the image in the thumbnail wasn't a Commodore 64, because it had an @ symbol above the 2. Nope! Shoulda been quotation marks there (then).

But when I click on the article, I think that first picture is right. At least, it looks like what I remember.
