We got here! Although I always worry
for a little while about whether they will remember to throw the
switch. Did I know that Stonehenge is precisely aligned on this
morning's sunrise? The site has been open for the last couple of
hours, in case you wanted to turn out and observe it.
No time for much this morning. I have
cast on another Awesome hat, and indeed might reach the crown shaping
today – although, in the modern idiom, I'm not going to stress
about it. I'm using a freshly-wound skein of Whiskey Barrel, from
which I have previously taken only the three contrast rounds at the turning
point of the Roasted Hatch Chillis hat.
So at the end, I can compare the two
(Roasted Hatch Chillis and Whiskey Barrel). I weighed the former, hat
and leftover yarn together, as soon as the needles were out. 122
grams, was the answer. But the label doesn't show weight, just length,
so that was no use. It still seems to me that the RHC ball was
uncommonly small.
Otherwise, it only remains to say,
happy solstice to all. I'll try to look in next week.
Best wishes for a peaceful holiday period Jean. I hope it all goes smoothly. I'm looking forward to the longer days.
ReplyDeleteHope you & all the Mileses have a wonderful holiday together and that Perdita doesn't cause toooooo much mayhem.....

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jean. And good luck with the third Awesome Hat. I am bound and determined to finish my Wheaten Cap today. I still have at least one pair of socks that MUST BE finished by Christmas.....
