Evenweave Onto Aida

  • May. 12th, 2008 at 8:15 PM
I have a pattern that says to use evenweave and I don't wanna! I just finished a project on evenweave and my eyes need a break! Can I just switch to aida with little problem? The project is to be stitched over two threads and there are no half stitches in the pattern.

The pattern says to use 25-ct, which will create a 10.25 x 10.25 piece. The stitch count is 128 w x 128 h. How big would my piece be if I used 14ct aida instead?

Thanks for the help!!

Addict For Dramatics 3/9

  • May. 12th, 2008 at 7:56 PM
Series Title: Addict For Dramatics
Part: Three of Nine
Fandom: Torchwood
Author: finksgirl
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack/Ianto. Gwen/Jack (pining on Gwen's half)
Disclaimer: Torchwood is most certainly not owned by me. We'd have no plot, dead Gwen and Jack and Ianto shagging on everything and probably Rhys and Yan scrapbooking aliens together...
Summary: Yet another idea I had for a series. I wanted to delve into post-Exit Wounds Jack and his mental state if something were to happen to Yan. Dunno how I turned Gwen so malevolent and OOC but it works for this fic.
Warning: Spoilers for Exit Wounds! This is AU, if only for Gwen and Rhys.

Chapter Three

Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction. I am not affiliated with the television series Torchwood, nor any of the cast and crew. No harm is intended. It's all just for fun.

Author's Notes: Written for Scarlettgirl for the [info]house_of_cooper Ficathon. Assignment: Something that shows Gwen pulling the team together during Jack's absence, bonus for making this funny and not angsty.

I hope I succeeded.

Toshiko Sato leaned back and ran a grease-sticky hand through her hair.

Haven't we been here before...

  • May. 12th, 2008 at 7:34 PM
*shudders as song gets into her head again*

Well, I'm back working from the computer hutch. I loved my round table in the corner of the office concept, but the glare was killing me--as was the dust. I'm writing in a cave again, but no glare, and lo! All my CDs are handy.

Also back is my ooooooooolllllld Gateway 2000 bought used keyboard. The action is clicky and the keys are high, but the Dell board is getting so fussy on me and it really needs a thorough cleaning; I had to go back to my old buddy. This keyboard's gotten me through quite a few fanfics; it feels good to type on it again. :^) Still, it's taking some getting used to.

We'll see how long it takes before I feel the need to redecorate yet again. LOL!

A community for beta'd fic?

  • May. 13th, 2008 at 8:40 AM
I've been searching through all the Torchwood comms that I can find, and while there are heaps for various kinds of fic, I was thinking that it might be nice to have a community specifically for beta'd fic. I know that the awesome [info]tw_betas exists, but that is for finding/offering beta services, rather than for the fic itself.

I was wondering if people would be interested in a general Whoniverse fic community (ie, all three shows) dedicated to polished, well-developed fics. Not that we'd expect anyone to be Shakespeare or anything, but just a community where all fics are properly proofread and beta'd, with maybe a minimum fic length of 500 words.

Comics time

  • May. 12th, 2008 at 6:26 PM
I was in a Torch-sticky mood this weekend and thus drew a few comics. No, not the next quicktime, but I thought it would be nice to space the last two out since they are going to be epic (esspecially "Fragments" since it was my favorite episode of the season!)

Anyhow! I did some comics and they are splendid so go on and read them and giggle. :-p

1. NEW ACTOR GUESTS ANNOUNCEMENT - GARETH DAVID-LLOYD ("TORCHWOOD") & CLIFF SIMON ("STARGATE: SG-1")

Polaris 22 is pleased to announce that Gareth David-Lloyd and Cliff Simon have accepted our invitations to be Actor Guests this year.

As a teenager, Gareth David-Lloyd joined the Gwent Young People's Theatre in Abergavenny, where he appeared in several plays including Macbeth, The Threepenny Opera and Henry V, in which he played the title role. He went on to train at the National Youth Theatre, before moving to Reading to pursue his acting career with The Rep College. Gareth returned to Wales for the filming of his first regular television role in Torchwood. We're excited to note that Polaris will be Gareth's very first North American appearance ever!

Cliff Simon has performed all over the world in various stage productions as a dancer/acrobat, culminating in his dream role as a performer at the world famous Moulin Rouge, Paris, in 1989. Arriving in the US from his native South Africa in 2000, Cliff soon landed a guest starring role
with Don Johnson on the hit TV series, Nash Bridges. A short time after that, he acquired the guest star role of Ba'al on Stargate SG-1. Cliff was brought back to play Ba'al in the Stargate SG-1 movie "Continuum", which will be released in this year.

Both Gareth and Cliff will be attending the Blastoff Party, signing autographs, appearing onstage, and participating in our photo sessions.

All guests appearance subject to professional commitments. All event times are subject to change.

3. WE'RE LOOKING FOR: DVDS OR VIDEOS OF CANADIAN MASQUERADES

The Polaris masquerade directors are looking for DVD or Video copies of Canadian Masquerades. We want to build up our archive of Masquerade footage from Polaris and all other Canadian conventions, as a resource to use in our costume panels and displays. Furthermore, the International Costumers Guild has established an archive for Masquerades, and we want to
ensure that the history of Canadian Masquerades is included in that archive.

Anyone wishing to contribute a copy of their Canadian Masquerade footage for either or both of these purposes, please contact Martin Miller at mcmillerca@yahoo.ca.


It occurs to me that I was derelict a couple of weeks ago in annoucing Jason Dohring (Josef Konstantin on "Moonlight" and Garfield & Judith Reeves-Stevens (authors of Federation and co-producers of season four of Star Trek: Enterprise).

'Star Trek XI' Not Just A Prequel

  • May. 12th, 2008 at 10:11 PM
'Star Trek XI' covers more than the earliest days of Kirk and Spock.

Infuriating.

If I had any way of getting to Hamilton in an hour, I would be attending this evening's meeting of the Hamilton School Board.

No, I'm not from Hamilton, nor am I a parent or a student, but people need to speak up. Here's the email I received a few minutes ago:

The Hamilton Family Action Council is attacking the Hamilton School Board's equity policy on sexual orientation. )

It infuriates me to think that in 2008 in Canada, there are still people who would fight against equality and, yes, encourage the harassment of LGBT students, teachers, and others.
