| Jeanne Crockett Well, I was there, but not in the LIVE. So I watched you waiting to start. LOL. Duh. |
| Sue Jalowiec Thanks for being there ... there are no demerits for being tardy ... :-) |
| Jeanne Crockett Thanks, Sue. I'm really sorry I missed the beginning. Next time, I'll be here for the full show. |

| Lynnette D After transferring to eon for the top of the hat, I always knit an odd number of rows, ending on the left, and pull the yarn through from the right. You will get a tighter close on the top |
