JIM JIM JIMMY JIM, JIM JIM JIM!


I would like to take this day to express* my deepest dissatisfaction with the internet for it not having any good screencaps of Billy Connolly as Capt Billy Bones.

*spelled this 'espresed' this morning... that's the coffee talking.

I would like to take a moment to say

I LOVE WOOL.


I have long known it's the best thing for keeping out damp cold, it's incredibly durable, and stain-resistant, fairly wrinkle-resistant as well (yet creasable!) and all-around excellent.

Today I splurged and got some heavyweight wool suiting for the frock coat part of my Halloween costume (which I plan on wearing every winter, not just for one day). It is luxurious. Compared to the odd mystery polyester blend I was working with last year, and to the lining I was trying the pattern on last week, it's an absolute dream to pin the pattern to, cut, pin together, and I expect it'll be magnificent to sew and finish as well.

THANK YOU, SHEEP! Keep up the good work!

Not only is it marvelous to sew, it's also incredibly forgiving. O, the rapture of wool.
