Link: Project Calculator: How Much Yarn Will You Need?
Guess who just did a bunch of work so that you wouldn’t have to?
Click the link, read the steps.
The calculators are not crochet or knit specific. It’s all about yarn, baby.
Greetings from Interweave »

HIP-HIP-HOORAY!
Thank you, Bonnie, for making my breathing a little easier. Now, let’s see if I can forget about all of this for a little while.
Look what I found! »

Scout, of Scout’s Swag, has this set of 4 cards, with a crochet diva. It’s a little expensive at $12 (usd), but aren’t they fantastic? It would be a nice gift for friends, if you (or I) come up short on ideas.
SUCCESS! »

The mail brought me a gift from the Gods, darlings. Seriously.
A 3.5mm stereo plug to dual RCA male adapter.
A small part, cheaply purchased ($5 USD), and now I have the last piece to complete my cassette-to-computer conversion of audio.
That piece connects to a previously purchased ($3-6 USD) male RCA to 3.5mm stereo y-adapter:
Put the male RCA y-adapter, stereo jack side, into the mini-cassette player, plug the male RCA side of it into the female RCA adapter (first image), and then plug the 3.5mm adapter side of the female RCA to the line-in jack of your computer. After that, set your computer audio to allow recording from the line-in, and tell your favorite audio editor to use the line-in as a playback/recording option. From there, it is all VOILA and happiness!
(sound confusing? it’s really not.)
What this means for me is that I can record on my handheld cassette recorder and then transfer it to the computer in order to convert it for the podcast! No more having to wait for people to be asleep. No more restrictions to recording only at the computer. No more delays between episodes because I’ve thrown my back out, or I’m too busy to sit still at the computer long enough. Good news all around.
SO. EXCITING.
Here’s the test clip:
