Are you there, God? It's me, Amanda. Again.

You might remember that I put in a Request for Change to the human anatomy a couple of months ago with regard to the positioning of our arms. I'm disappointed that you haven't done anything about this yet. Let me tell you a bit about how I roll. Every time that I make an amendment to a work-in-progress pattern I give it a new reference number and annotate it so that I can track all the changes I make. Look at this:


It says: Hoodie Sleeve Version Infinity (+2). This means I have been drafting and redrafting this particular armhole infinity times. And then twice more. Tweaking this armhole has become my full-time job. If you don't make this change pronto, I'm not going to have time to blog here anymore. Thank heavens I've started a micro-blog:


Yes, I know you probably don't like the f-word much but this is what all the cool kids do on Tumblr where it's all F-yeah this and Hell-no that. And I know that to be grammatically correct it should have a comma because without one it's much more confusing as a concept. So here you go, I've drawn one in:


That's pretty much my mantra. I just wrote my first post last night:

That is actually true. But see what I did there? It's a pun on ADIDAS, but about armholes! In the sewing world, this sort of thing is hilarious.

Are you there, God? It's me, Amanda

Back when I used to work for The Man, my (cooler) colleagues and I used to cope with the relentless tedium by putting in outlandish 'Request for Change' forms. But before you start lamenting the fact we've never worked together and therefore can never be amused by my antics, I still do the very same things. But over on Twitter:



I made this diagram for @that_kat, who questioned my use of 'perpendicularly' in yesterday's post. As it turns out, she was merely challenging it grammatically rather than seeking clarification. But for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter *waves at Mom*, I thought I'd post it.
