I have to use some before I'm allowed to buy anymore!<br /><br />If you are knitting the yarn on the recommended size needles, check the gauge on the ball band (eg 22 stitches to four inches). Then divide your total number of stitches by that number (eg 110 divided by 22 = 5) and multiply by the number of inches by your answer (eg 4 inches x 5) to get the diameter of your hat. In my example, this hat would fit a head circumference of 20 inches (approximately 50cm - a bit small for a man's head). Email me if none of that made sense!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-18065091660918753962012-09-05T11:21:36.667+01:002012-09-05T11:21:36.667+01:00ps Guess wot I bought this weekend....

Or embroidery. I learnt to embroider sitting outside our tent with a kit I bought at a supermarket! I think I was pretty bored and was desperate for something to do. And yes, I knit when camping too. And crochet. They are the most portable projects I think.

Sewing in general - not so good.<br />My sister has lived in Minnesota now for nearly 20 years and she still has us send her Tillamook cheese from Oregon - even though she is next door to the cheese state of Wisconsin.<br /><br />I am trying to work through Salmiakki withdrawal symptoms after my trip to Sweden & Finland this summer.
