So this whole colored tights thing is really happening, huh? Saw a lady today with red on front, black on back. She looked like a jester.


@DDsD Yep, credit where credit is due. @Opheli8 totally started this whole thing. She’s the only one that can pull it off though!


@witty_knitter Hm. Have you ordered yet? I could use some new plain tights myself…


@witty_knitter Oh darn. Looks like a useful site though anyway. Thank you!


Wondering if a buxom lass might be able to talk one of those neckbeards in the queue at Harvey Norman to pick up a $98 TouchPad for her…


@henrytapia @toastman Rodos was amused by the idea, but his innate laziness won out and I have no TouchPad to use as an ironic coaster. ๐Ÿ™


@knitterjp Ok, want to combine then? I’ll jump on this bandwagon! ๐Ÿ™‚


@Lauren_lolly_ @knitabulous @tjlethal No, wrong! We have a big La Creuset enameled cast iron pot and it works fantastic.


@knitabulous Induction is the shit. Seriously. Snook was hesitant too until he cooked on one. Come over! You can try it out.


@knitabulous It boils water *as fast as the kettle*. And when you turn down the heat? Instant responsiveness. We love it.


@knitabulous Gets so hot I set oil vapor on fire the first time I cooked stir fry. And goes so low you can melt choc without a double boiler


@Lauren_lolly_ @knitabulous @tjlethal Anything that’s magnetic will work. That leaves out glass, aluminium, some stainless…


@GeorgieKnits We love our induction. IT’S FROM THE FUTURE. ๐Ÿ™‚

@TJLethal @lauren_lolly_ @knitabulous Nope, we use a cheap Chinatown flat-bottomed wok on ours just fine. Used it tonight, in fact!


@Ezzles Hahahaha. Yes. I don’t want to spoil you, but I spent most of that book cursing Theon effing Greyjoy.


@TJLethal @lauren_lolly_ @knitabulous We’ve even put a flat roasting tray down on it to make gravy from pan drippings. Worked great!


@Ezzles Incidentally, I didn’t actually like Clash of Kings that much. If that describes you, hang in there. I liked book 3 a LOT more.


@TJLethal Not enough of an expert wok cook to say. But I have definitely spontaneously ignited oil in the wok on induction, it was so hot.


@TJLethal We don’t do a great deal of wok cooking though. It’s better than our old electric stove was, that’s for sure.


@TJLethal Interestingly, pan will still heat when held an inch or two above the induction spot. So you can toss a bit without losing heat.


@TJLethal We bought this place and it was either drop $3K to get gas put in or drop $3K on induction. We tried the induction and got hooked!


@TJLethal Huh, didn’t know that. Rodd insisted on cooking a steak on one before he’d commit. And we needed new pots anyway. ๐Ÿ™‚


@knitterjp Ok, will email you a list!


RT @Theon_Greyjoy: @web_goddess I prefer women to scream my name rather than curse it, but I take what I can get. // AHHHHHHHH! @drkknits


@knitabulous @tjlethal @lauren_lolly_ Yeah, induction was only comparable for us because we’d have to get the gas line put in anyway.
