A wonderfully perverse vid where Nine and Ten are battling over Rose's affections. I think the reason I find it so hilarious is because it's set to "Love Stinks."
The conference has hit the big time!

tempestsarekind, I'm totally going back to the Globe just to buy this.
tchwrtr linked to stitch markers on Etsy. I am not allowed to look at stitch markers on Etsy for the same reason I'm not allowed to preorder anything Whovian from Amazon.co.uk until after the trip - I need to have money *for* the trip! Anybody know if there's a 12-row chain-style row counter? All my projects are based on a count of 12.
And a minor knitting victory - I can now do the Yarn Harlot 1-Row Handspun Scarf stitch without looking down! I'm going to be getting a LOT of practice at that too, as am making a cotton throw in that stitch, with a minimum of 4 rows to be done nightly as a form of stress relief.
ionlylurkhere has an interesting Martha meta post. When Rose first met the Doctor, she had a sense that she wanted more out of life than she was currently getting, but no real idea how to get it. The Doctor unlocked the door to everything she could have dreamed of and a whole load more besides. Martha's problem is a step further back than that: despite the fact that she's got a good life on the surface of things, she doesn't actually know how to want things for herself, really.
She's used to sublimating her desires to those of her family, so used it to that it doesn't even occur to her to put her own views across. The initial sequence of phone calls that introduces her in Smith and Jones show her as the sensible one who has to broker deals between the rest of the family, and she seems to have a strong enough desire for everyone to get along all right that she doesn't want to add another set of competing demands into the mix.

(There will be others. La La's Simple Shawl begs for one with different beads in the middle to mark the switch to yarnovers, for example, but I can't figure out if that one could be done with one chain or would require two.)
Oh - to fit 10 or 10.5s. I like lots of room on my stitch markers because I treat them like stitches; I use the tip of the needle to slip them over.

*wonders if she can find a Tardis or Daelek finding for the dangly end part*
And I agree about the larger marker rings--the copper ones are sized up to a 10, but it's a tight fit on 9s, and slow to transfer them. I'll be using them on 6s and smaller, I think.
