It's when you cut something at a 45 degree angle to the straight of grain (in a woven fabric, that is). It drapes very differently than either straight or dross-grain.
Hee. Don't be. The only problem is that I was at the very end of my yardage and had no wiggle room. And I had 11 cuts of different lengths, and in some cases widths, to lay out and jigsaw together.
So, I did write that 275 words, then I made and ate supper, and now I just want to sleep. Nice, cool sleep. It's like 20 degrees cooler than this time last night.
And I have finished rewriting my crochet pattern! Oh lord so much more work to do in the next 24 hours. Two more patterns to rewrite, one to write up from scratch and take photographs for, and a charted alphabet I'm hoping to finish. (It's a very useful alphabet. Block capitals, all the letters are 8x12 pixels with doublewide lines, so you can write something like "MARINES ♥" on a knitted hat and people can read it at a distance.)
