This crochet pattern. I got some pretty earrings out of it, too, even though where it says round two is single crochets it LIES. scs are just flat out not tall enough. I did round two as double crochets instead and it worked marvelously. I have no photos though, as I'm not sure where I put my jewelry-photographing backgrounds and my usual substitute (the sewing table) is blocked in by all my sister's dorm room stuff, so I have no good background to photograph my new earrings against. ETA: Wait, no, I found a substitute (the card table):



I am probably going to poke at The Wisdom of Hypatia some more on lunch break.

Nice earrings.

I was reading a sourdough recipe in a published book that called for 3/4 cup of starter, 3/4 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of flour, and then said I should mix them in a 1 cup measuring jug, and cover with plastic wrap. It's pretty clear from the quantities that I will need to use a 2 cup measuring jug, but somehow it got through the proof reading and copy editing.
