A road trip

If she's on time (a novelty), Linda will be here in fifteen minutes and we are off to Art and Apples, a classy show in Michigan.

So many questions from the last post. All the towels are sold and now that I am an old lady working at old lady speed, I don't know when I might warp up the little loom. Heck, first it needs to come up from the basement and get reassembled. That's how it is.

The hat, the hat. if you knit, or know someone who does, it is ridiculously easy. I weighed it; 1.1 ounces. Very little yarn. Here's how to do it:

With size 5 circular needle, cast on 100 stitches. Join, don't twist.
Knit 9 rows. Flip the work inside out. You have the purl side facing.
Knit 9 rows.

On the last row increase 20sts evenly. (K5, Make 1, around)

Change to size 6 circular.

Turn the work to the purl side.
Knit 9 rows.
Turn to the purl side,
Knit 9 rows. 

When you have a satisfactory number of pancakes, decrease as follows:

K8, K 2tog.
Knit a round.
K7, K 2 tog.
Knit a round.
K6, K 2 tog, etc.

Change to dp needles when the circulars are too big.
When there are five sts left, pull the end through to finish off.

Work ends in.

The end.

Linda is five minutes early.
See you next week.
