didn’t take long
22 Jan 07
Last week I decided to stop being a weenie and change the licensing on my few flickr photos to a creative commons license (specifically attribution/non-commercial). And Lo, I see my work appear on a knitting blog called Test-Along. In the foreground, the beautiful fish mug from the collection of Taloola Cafe (warning: links to MySpace); in the background, my lovely Jodi.
This is exciting, although the paranoiac in me wonders if knitters aren’t gradually assimilating the noosphere. I wonder if there’s a knitting cafe in Second Life?
(Thanks to Jodi for finding this for me).

Hey pzed, thanks for the nice photo. Yes, knitters are taking over the noosphere. As a writer that’s gotten sucked into a knitting related project, I can tell you this: Resistance is futile.
I was a little bit unsure of how the attribution/noncommercial license applied in the case of the test-along site. While the bigger project we’re working on is commercial (a knitting book that will eventually be for sale), the test-along part of it is completely free to users. They get free patterns, and everybody involved gets something out of the discussion as to whether the patterns work as written.
Hope that works for you. If not, email me off-blog and let me know.
Cheers, Martin

I think it’s funny that, in a random flickr search, Martin ended up finding and using (without knowing it, of course) a photo of someone who took part in one of the knitalongs organized for his book project with Larissa. I’d like to buy the world a carbonated beverage. . .
And, thank Bonnie (www.amputeehee.blogspot.com) for pointing it out to me; I don’t know how she knew it was me in the photo but somehow she did. All jokes aside, perhaps we really are taking over. And you can bet your arse that Second Life has more than one knitting cafe; it’s likely far cheaper to open one there, don’t you think?
