The next Great Knit-In

I am going to the next Great Knit-In tonight, and hoping to finish my beanie! Ally writes about the hilarity of the evening last week here - and I get a special mention. See Ally had already finished a beanie like the one I was about to begin, so I asked if I could see hers. I tried it on for size, after Ally mentioned hers was a little tight, because I have a big head ('large cranial capacity' is what I like to call it), and then, great was my perturbation when having donned this beanie I was about to invest hours of my life in making, Ally couldn't speak for laughing! - and I am sure I heard the word "Helga" in there somewhere. (I was actually laughing myself, though in some confusion.) It turns out I had put the thing on back-to-front (not knowing there was such a thing on a beanie) and had ear flaps hanging down the side of my face. So that evening, amongst other things, I learnt that beanies with side flaps have fronts and backs.

I am looking forward to this evening's entertainment and possibly bringing home a finished product.
