Paul--Do you have more info on this? Location? Day? Time?

I do not work on Saturdays--and it is supposed to be near 60* this weekend.
It would be a great outing. Anyone interested???? Of course--i do not have any facts.

Paul! YOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

Jill--Yes! I use 3 needles when I make anything circular. Four would be OK too--but then you end up
with a 'pointed" finish at the top...Kind of like smaller version of a jester's hat.
Depending how you decrease the stitches. If you do it evenly on all the needles--it will be rounded.
Most often--I use the "knit 2 stitches together" at the beg. and end of each needle and then knit a row
without decreasing and than do it again--until I only have 4-5 stitches left on each needle.
Then I thread the yarn through all those and pull it all together. I like Pom-Poms on top--
but it may be "childish" for an older girl.

I have a box-full of very small baby hats I have knitted. I want to contribute them to Franklin Square Hospital NICU .
Have never gotten around to it yet. Shame on me!!! It is only 5 miles from my house.

Sally--all you have to do is go see a Senior center. They knit up a storm.
Here in Baltimore , there is actually a "Senior Craft gallery" where you can shop for amazing things made by Sr.'s.
Nor just knitted and crocheted goods. Hand made cards...Wood cuttings, Baby sets...everything.
It is in an old Elementary School now owned by Baltimore County.
