Az Imágó szekvencia és más történetek Two identical light/dark characters intertwined
The Hungarian translation of @lairdbarron.bsky.social's The Imago Sequence and Other Stories is up for preorder. Translations by @adamsarpatki.com, @brainoiz.bsky.social and me!
(I'll update this thread when I learn the name of the cover artist.)

Red, green, and white Christmas stockings hang on a mantle. They each have a name stitched into their upper sections: one is David, the other is Brianna.
One of my new tech edits, the Christmas Stocking pattern by Brianna Leigh is available now on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... Latvian braid, short-row heel, and stranded colourwork - it's a perfectly cozy project. 😊 #knitsky #knitweardesign
A screenshot of the Hungarian Wikipedia page for alum. Two lines discussing a supposed etymology are struck through. Below them is an all-caps warning reading ‘Don’t write bullshit!’ The final line corrects the false etymology.
Wikipédia, at its best. :D Forrás: hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tims%C3...
Two colorful Christmas stockings hang on the mantle in front of the fireplace. They are knit with stranded colorwork, and use green, white, and red colors. The stockings have names on them: one is Brianna, the other is David. The motifs on the stockings at the top are reminiscent of hollies, while on the lower parts are similar to snowflakes. The sections of the stockings are separated by Latvian Braids.
I've recently edited a wonderful pattern for Christmas stockings, and there's an open call for test knitters right now. ☺️ The due date is 2025-12-02, but it's a flexible deadline. See more info on Yarnpond: www.yarnpond.com/pattern_test...

I'm way behind on the TKGA's tech editing course, but I finally have time to work on Lesson Two. I'm checking some of my changes, and wow, what the heck was I thinking. 😂 #knitsky
Congrats! Such a lovely design. ☺️
Wonderful, I can't wait. :)
Yesterday, I started restructuring the tech editing page on my website, to streamline it a bit, and to update the pricing. (Instead of an hourly rate, I will have a rate per word.) I love tinkering with the site, but boy, it's a lot of work. 🫠

A work-in-progress sweater sampler lying on a wooden surface. The sampler is knit on wooden double-pointed needles. It has a garter edge and a stockinette body, and the body has the letter A knit with purl stitches on it. A spare needle is resting above the sweater, and above that, a ball of yarn.
I'm making some headway with one of my knitting projects: the sampler pattern from "Knitting Ganseys" by Beth Brown-Reinsel. I'm reading the book for my tech editing certification course at TKGA, and I'm also learning a lot about sweater construction and DPNs. So all in all, it's great fun. ☺️
Thank you, that's very kind of you. :) I do my best.
Oh no, what have I done. 😂
I also admit that posting an email address probably wasn't the wisest move, but maybe implement a system where you detect this kind of thing so that dummies like me and actually malicious people can't post the comment as is. I dunno, just an idea. Anyway, I'm done. :)
Interestingly, now I'm unable to open a new support case, even though my Meta Verified is still on. 🙃 Sooo... did they also disable this feature, or is it just a bug? Weeell, anyway. You know where to find me. Back to our regularly scheduled programming of books, TTRPGs and knitting content. 🫠

The image is of a Facebook comment before posting, and it reads: Hi everyone! I'm Adam, a tech editor, and I would love to work with knitwear designers of all skill levels. I really enjoy patterns with colourwork or textures. (I'm currently working through "Knitting Ganseys" by Beth Brown-Reinsel, and it's brilliant.) As an editor, I'm focusing on accessories, and I'm especially interested in making patterns accessible for beginners. I can help create your charts and schematics as well.

Well, I guess that's it. Let me show you the heinous and abhorrent comment for which my account was first suspended, then disabled. I got Meta Verified (ugh, I know) to reach support, and while they seemed helpful people, and I'm sure it wasn't up to them, ultimately it wasn't worth the cost.
I've contacted Meta Support three times now about my suspended account, and all three agents have thanked me for being so patient and calm during our chat. I mean, they were genuinely helpful, and it's not their fault Meta is such a shitshow. 😐
I'm writing a blog post about what it takes to be a good translator, and I likened us to chameleons. Now I found an interview with my teacher from university, titled: "Translators are chameleons." Oh well, what a surprise. 😅
Nem mintha meglepne, de érdekes, hogy pont ma délelőtti cikk. (Az előzményekért lásd az előző posztomat.)

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
Anyway, I would leave Facebook and Messenger in a heartbeat, but basically all of my friends and most of my colleagues are there. We really need some alternatives.
So apparently, anytime I post a comment in the Tech Editor Hub's Facebook group, Meta just decides to suspend my account. Who knew knitting was such a controversial thing 😂
Now that's how it's done. 😊
Hát igen. A saját Sanderson-fordításaimból tudom, mennyire fontos egy ilyen, és még akkor is történhetnek bakik. (De ezeknek a sikere borzasztóan függ a szerkesztő hozzáállásától is...) A Drizzt-sorozat munkálataira viszont nem látok rá. :)
Csütörtökön kijött egy könyvbemutató YouTube-on, amiben én is beszéltem a Drizzt legendája: Képes útmutatóról. Ennek apropóján írtam egy blogbejegyzést a könyv fordításával kapcsolatban. Ímhol. Kommentelni ér, de csak itt, mert az oldalamon nem lehet.

I've passed Lesson One; now moving on to Lesson Two. ☺️
Dear Bluesky literati, can anybody recommend me English language horror / weird magazines that accept translated short stories / will open submissions in the near future?
This is a photo of a desk, with two computers, a large monitor, the Chicago Manual of Style, a tiny sliver of Vogue Knitting, and lots of other stuff, useful for work. The monitor shows two documents open side by side - one is a Word document with tracked changes, and the other is a spreadsheet.
I finally submitted my Lesson One materials for the TKGA Tech Editing Certification Course. 🥳 I spent much more time on them than I wanted to; I could have been more productive, but sometimes things just take time, I guess. ☺️
