Sue Jalowiec The tech is always a challenge ... for all of us. We host this on Knit it Now and it makes things a little clumsy, but I find that I get easily distracted when watching |
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 ... :-) |

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 |
