Well, I guess it's sort of knitting related! I know that someone
either on
this list or Knit U has created a knitting inventory program for Palm
PDAs.
I am thinking that DH can give me a Palm for Christmas this year ...
and I
am thinking about getting the Palm IIIxe model. It is the 8 MB
model. Does
anyone have this, and if so, do they LOVE it?!
I am somewhat of an organization freak and think it would be so great
to
have my knitting stash with me all the time (uh, I don't have to worry
about
that obsession, do I?!), as well as my schedule, address book, etc.
etc.
Please let me know off list what you love/hate about your Palm and what
model you have.
Thanks!
Terri

BEEHIVE HAT GAUGE
Sorry to post twice today (!!!), but I'm an idiot. I already e-mailed
Sarah
the change for the gift page...
The gauge on the Beehive Hat is 5 sts/in in the 1x1 rib. If you get
that
right, you'll be fine in the honeycomb stitch.
The hat is sized to fit a very small child - finished measurements,
unstretched and facing side only, are 6.5" wide by 7" tall. But it
is a very
stretchy hat, widening to 10.5 inches (front side only...21" total
around)
with my hands inside stretching it with my fingers all open wide (to
simulate a head.) :-)
The bee is 3" long including his antennae.
The Caron Sayelle yarn is just regular worsted acrylic... mine is old,
I
think I got it at K-Mart a hundred years ago. You can substitute anything,
really, in that sort of a weight.
If you want to make the hat bigger, use larger needles, or cast on extra
stitches using a multiple of 8, plus 4 (to accommodate the 2 border
stitches
each side in the honeycomb stitch). To make taller, just work more
repeats
of the honeycomb stitch before switching to the stocking stitch for
the
fold. Easy!
Good luck!

HTH. If you still can't figure it out let me know and I'll make a small
sample and take some digital shots to place at my website.
Please do Flor!
I too am having trouble with that one. I have knit both stitches
together
after turning as it is the only way I can see to avoid dropping a stitch,
which is what it seems you are saying... and yet, that can't be. How
can
something explained so many times still be a blank to me?! It's a nice
looking hat and a clever design, I would love to see detailed pictures!
Thanks,
Hazel

I wonder -- is the store in a non-smoking building? If not, then perhaps
Dulcie went just after the owner had had a cigarette, but you've been
lucky
enough to miss those times?
OT -- DH, ds and I just moved into a new house. Our office used
to be a
girl's bedroom, and what's now the nursery used to be the owner's home
office, so those rooms need to be redone soon, but otherwise it's pretty
much perfect.
OKC -- Not much. The bedspread I was experimenting with is probably
going
to end up on my ds's bed, because dh and I just realized that we're
going
for dark green in our bedroom, and the yarn I was using is navy blue.
Oh,
well, at least now I'll know pretty much exactly how much yarn I'd
need if
I'm going to make one for dh's and my bed.

Like Dulcie, today I went to We'll Keep You in Stitches, but had no
sinus
reaction, and I've never noticed any smoke or smoke residue.

Re Shamrock buttons:
I got tired of looking for matching buttons so I bought some fimo in
various colors. As it
happens, I made shamrock millefiori buttons for a kiddie present.
I rolled three fat snakes of green clay, cut a trench in the top along
the snake and then made
the other side pointed to get three heart-cross sectioned snakes. I
added a wedge shaped long
bit for the stem. Filled in with white clay quarter snakes to make
the interior. Then using the
methods in "The New Clay" book I added clay for the outside rim of
the button, reduced the cane
and sliced. Poked holes in for the cord and baked them. Very cute.
You can also make a non-millefiori version by just cutting out shamrock
shapes with a tiny
shamrock cookie cutter or using a template.
Joanna in Germany. Visit our site http://www.knitsnbytes.com
which is temporarily a mess, unlike the house which is
permanently a mess. JUST SAY NO TO BULKY KNITS! Fashion be damned.
