The buildings of Portugal, with one or two exceptions, cannot be said to excel or even to come up to those of other countries. To a large extent the churches are without the splendid furniture which makes those of Spain the most romantic in the world, nor are they in themselves so large or so beautiful. Some apology, then, may seem wanted for imposing on the public a book whose subject-matter is not of first-class importance.

3- Emerson Cod “Emerson”
There are so many reasons why I love Emerson. One, he represents our generation in a show that was slightly stylized to be reminiscent of a past generation. Two, he reminds me of one of my better male friends. Three, his hard exterior makes his likes so much funnier - a detective who doesn’t like to be touched knits. It’s so cute, and Chi McBride made Emerson funny because you can tell even though he acts like he doesn’t like Chuck, he would be sad if she re-died.

i like to do math.

here’s a handy trick — if you want to know how many stitches you’ll have on the needle once you’ve put the armpits on strings and put the sleeves and body on the same circular, you multiply x (where ‘x’ equals the cast-on) by 1.34.

so, {x:x=60}, 1.34(60)=80.4

round as you please.

it’s worth noting that this is by the Elizabeth Zimmerman’s percentages, and if you aren’t using those this formula will change.

i’m currently using it to check if my modified cast-on will fit the yoke charts of a standard pattern.
