    Ah!! Yes, the Ozone Hole is, in fact, recovering! It's super fascinating, and really shows that if people work together positive change can be made and our effect on the environment lessened
    also love the collar, very fancy

      ​@@MaireColcloughthat's by design. The people very invested in not letting us take legislative action and create regulations to counteract climate change are, of course, also very invested in not letting it be pointed out that that strategy worked very well for the ozone crisis.
      Combine that with the natural human tendency to forget why we do a thing because it's successful and thus the problem isn't being experienced and our brains start telling us that clearly it couldn't have been *that* bad in the first place...

Namely setting up a charecter, then shooting the entire season's skits in just a few days, then setting up and shooting the next character. Also how Vincent Price shot all his bits in 3 days for 2 seasons worth of shows.

    You have inspired me to make a collar! I soon realized that in the vintage pattern they assume that the double stitch needed to create the picot does not need to be recorded in the pattern. In my first tries the rings did not close all the way but adding a stitch for each picot they do. I used up all of my # 10 white cotton knitting dishcloths so the real collar will have to wait until I can get some more cotton.

Also shockingly realistic for something that bordered on science fiction.

    Is there a closeted goth girl that hasn't coveted a Wednesday Adam's dress? Is 47 too old for one? Will I just look like an olde timey widow?

    I was pushing away this video, because I want to make my staple black dress to wear non-stop SO HARD, but I'd need a body block, and I'm scared T_T

      I'd take a look at the Closet Core Jenna. It leans into oversize fit with very little shaping, so it's very forgiving. 😃
