Huh.

I am: 34% Republican.

Are You A Republican?

Eh, it's a nine-question quiz, big whoop.

On another note, after some counting I have determined that the Elder Sign mittens have a vertical gauge of ten rows = about an inch. At the size I'm knitting these, they're to be nine and a half to ten inches long. Two and a half inches of that is the ribbing on the cuff. So- say seven inches of actual handspace on this mitten. I want the Elder Sign pattern square in the centre of the palm. My fingers constitute three inches of length. I've got one inch of palm work done so far; that leaves three more inches of palm to go. The Sign is a 19x19 grid in terms of stitches, so I'd say... oh, about another two or three rows and then I start the 'padding rows', where the salt-and-pepper stitching I've done so far gives way to about two or three stitches' work of dark color to set off the Sign properly. That should allow for proper palm centering.

I'll be using the star pattern, even though I prefer the tree design on the grounds that Lovecraft himself drew it in a letter to a friend and the star is August Derleth's creation. The star is just a better graphic. The tree will make a nice pattern for a headband, though. Or for the brim of a triple-patterned watch cap, same as I originally intended when I designed it.
