MEMOJI?!? Really Necessary?
Does the world really need a MEMOJI? For those who don’t know, the term is a combination of “me” and “emoji” to indicate a personal emoji. Here’s a brief video tutorial on what a memoji is.
Memoji – The Unnecessary
There used to be very few things less self-centered than a personal blog (like this one). Now Apple has fixed that with the ability to create a cartoon face of yourself that will wink, talk, stick out its (your) tongue, etc.
With my recent switchover to a new mobile phone carrier, I considered upgrading my iPhone from an iPhone 6 to something more advanced.
First of all, I thought I had to upgrade my iPhone to get onto the new carrier, so I was weighing my options and the associated costs.
As appealing to my ego as memoji capability is, I couldn’t justify upgrading to an iPhone X for such frivolous and egotistical reasons.
I was grateful when Thaddeus figured out that I could move to the new carrier using my iPhone 6. My phone has all the functionality I need. I’ll stick with it and boring old texts done with…well, text.
At one point, I’m sure I will be forced to upgrade my phone, but for now, I’m good.
Any of you have any fantastic youmoji that might convince me otherwise?
Current Knitting
I did end up starting the sleeves on the Ensign Brook DK Cardigan.
I’ve decided to both sleeves semi-concurrently. It will make it a lot easier to remember the shaping on the second sleeve.
I was also tidying up my crafting area and found a crumpled mass of red lace-weight cotton. I quickly steam-blocked it and found this!
Sad when I can’t even remember doing this, but awesome that I have a new finished piece to display!
That piece of lace is gorgeous. Do you think it is from Marianne Kinzel?
Thanks Ron…you shamed me into going back in the blog archives to figure it out.
You were correct, it’s Springtime Design from Marianne Kinzel’s First Book of Modern Lace Knitting – https://amzn.to/30a2Kyo
