Finally managed to get some stitch markers up on my website. Here are just a few. I've got ring ones and locking ones, so you can take your pick. #stitchmarkers #knittingaddict #crochetersofinstagram

Been having fun experimenting with #microcrochet and have some super cute things in the shop, but I ran out of my earring cards. Have to print more, but you can get these @canalquarterarts along with tons of other art and handmade treasures. #microcr

The weather is miserable outside, so I'm going to stay toasty warm and work on some micro crochet earrings among other things. #microcrochetjewellery #grannysquares #crochetersofinstagram

The Internet: Did you know that shiba inus are the breed that is genetically closest to wolves? Me: Well, I pulled half a mole out the mouth of mine the other day, so yeah, that tracks.

I've been making a lot of these stitch markers lately, but I haven't put them on my website yet. That's on my to do list for this week. Today, I'm taking a break from knitting. But the cast-on is coming. #stitchmarkers #knittingaddict #handspunyarn

So, about that Google Translate for Scots Gaelic

So, about that Google Translate for Scots Gaelic

I should start by saying that it’s GREAT that Google Translate added Scots Gaelic to its list of languages. Seriously! At a time when Gaelic speakers/learners are fighting to save the language, or sometimes just convince people that it’s a living language and not a historical artifact it’s a big step forward to have Google deem it worth the programming needed to create something like this. And that’s A LOT of programming. Rosetta Stone hasn’t felt that it was worthwhile to offer their software in Gaelic, they even dropped their Welsh program years ago. So, should you add Google Translate to your list of Gaelic learning resources, use it to translate some key phrases for that great highland romance novel you’re writing, translate a favorite motto of yours for a Gaelic tattoo? Not so fast.
