Gallimaufry Post, including Sherlock Fic Recs

Several posts rolled into one, to keep from spamming y'all:

SHERLOCK RECS:

Just a couple of links to pass on this week:

Classic Holmes: The Sherlock Holmes Society has free downloadable audio plays

Sherlock Fic: Outsider's Perspective which does what it says on the tin; give the perspective of several outsiders regarding Sherlock's new friend John. Set early in the first season, no slash, no spoilers. My favorite is Donovan's, although Anderson's is the most poignant. Lovely character work.

The author is also doing an interesting progression; the first is a drabble, the second a double-drabble, the third a triple, etc. Between this and the 221B fics, I'm impressed with the writing style challenges Sherlock fandom is tossing up.


LINKS:
Smithsonian.com had an interesting article about a guy who uses the geotagging feature of flickr to see what areas in famous cities are most photographed by locals vs tourists. There's a whole string of 'em, I'm going to point out: Washington DC NYC & London

The Lazy Sod's Guide to Knitting Tricks: Miter w/Center Double Decrease

As I wrestle with mitered box mark 3, I have learned one very useful tip:

If you're doing a centered double decrease and you don't want to count stitches every row, use double-pointed needles. DPN1 holds the stitches up to "slip two knitwise" and DPN2 holds the rest. So every decrease row (using DPN3) slip the last two on DPN1, knit one from DPN2, psso, and drop DPN3; it will be the new DPN1 when you come back to that side and it will have exactly the number of stitches you'll need for the center double decrease to work.


Do I need to illustrate this? The instructions seem to be coming out as word salad.

Sherlock S2 SPOILERS under cut & in comments

Baker Street Supper Club has the beginning set of spoilers for Sherlock S2, an extension of the three leaked keywords. ( My thoughts thereon. )
