Participating in Nerdwars is a great learning experience. I am not a techie but it seems that you have to know how to do geeky nerdy techie things in order to get your points across in posts. Before I presented my dissertation, I had been on Ravelry for 3 yrs and never had occasion to really use pix in posts. (As if it is not obvious by the lack of technical skills in this blog!) I had to find pix and link those pix to make my presentation. By July 15, I must have made the halfway point in progress and prove by pix and measurements that my project will be what I started it out to be. It's like being in school. It is a wonderful way to improve your skill.
It is good that the mods know that many of us nerds are book types as opposed to computer types. There is an entire thread titled The Resource Room that has all the instructions about posting images on Ravelry etc.
Last night I started on a project for the Scientific Challenge related to Team Bite Me. Because I am doing the major project or dissertation, I am looking for small projects to aid my team in the challenges. It is a dishcloth of a baseball bat. I am not writing about the tie in just now until the project is done. I made it to Row 16 of 55 rows currently. Hope to finish it today after shopping and yard work.
I missed church this morning because I forgot about the Summer Hours. So I went to a rummage sale and did the bag sale thing. The bag was so heavy that I could not hold it properly walking the block home. My back hurt so I put placed it on my head and carried it easily. Now I know why African women carry things a long ways on their heads without stress.
