Your currency looks so convincingly European. (It is supposed to be European, right?)

Re: Creativity of the day
The countries in question are European-influenced and inspired, but there really isn't a precise geographic area I've pinned them to. (I'm too lazy to try to work through an althistory with them.) I just largely have the countries to be able to have excuses to make shiny money and passports and other things of interest/note.Vijay wrote:Your currency looks so convincingly European.

Well Reddit had no interest in this map I made but perhaps you all will find something interesting. I compiled all of the data myself from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It took 2 weeks to hand color every county.

Hey Viktor, that's a cool map. I'm having a hard time telling the difference between "Trade, transportation, utilities" and "Other services", though! For example, which is the dark areas in northern North Dakota?
I generally forget to say, so if it's relevant and I don't mention it--I'm from Southern Michigan and speak Inland North American English. Yes, I have the Northern Cities Vowel Shift; no, I don't have the cot-caught merger; and it is called pop.

I've been building and repairing guitar pedals.
I fixed my father's old fuzz and wah pedal from the 70's. What it looks like:
(The second one isn't the actual pedal: I had forgotten to take a picture before giving it back.)
What it feels like: I HAVE REFORGED MY FAMILY'S ANCESTRAL WEAPON!!
I've just finished a Fuzz Face and Rangemaster clone. Here it is, along with a pedal I made last year.
Unfortunately the Fuzz Face part doesn't sound as good as I hoped... my quest for the perfect fuzz continues...

I spun it with two plies of white and one of a variegated green/black/gold. The white stuff is superfine merino wool, and the green is a merino/silk blend. It turned out QUITE soft and I'm quite happy with it.
I already mailed it off to Canada. I'm in the redditgifts yarn exchange. I hope the recipient likes it.

I mean, it looks super-soft... perfect for a blanket (so wish my mom would've taught me how to crochet...).

Re: Creativity of the day
Not perfect for a blanket, actually! It's quite a fine yarn, and given the materials it's not machine washable whatsoever. This is enough for a small project—a headband or a small hat.
If you want to learn to crochet, I would totally recommend teaching yourself. Youtube is more patient than any teacher.
