In some ways this might be the geekiest thing I've ever made. It's from a blog post from Merlin Mann titled "Free as in 'Me'." It's a subheading of a blog post about the use and reuse of content. Yeah.

So, this is my first use of DMC Light Effects floss and the rumblings I had heard of its difficulty have not been overstated. Once I got going it wasn't terrible, but any snag and the whole thing turned—pardon my French—to shit.

Worth it though. It came out, at the risk of excessive repetition, quite fancy indeed.

I've been away a few days...Benji, this is both well done and funny!  And I feel your pain with the thread...it's a bear to work with....a hungry, tired, stressed out bear!
