The one item I'll mention... it fits me fine, but I usually wear large hats (apparently, I have a big head!). I know I've seen a bunch of comments that people have reduced the cast on a bit. If you look on Knitty's board, you should find more details.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and there is a trick to not have to worry about the bobbins being even when doing 2-ply (I haven't figured out the solution yet for 3-ply). It took me a while to figure it out as well...<BR/><BR/>Basically when you finish the first bobbin, wind off what's left of the second bobbin onto a ball winder or nostepinne. Then continue plying using both the inside and outsite strands.<BR/><BR/>I'll warn you, it does take a bit of practice, and the first time I did end up with a tangled mess. But once I got the hang of it, it works great!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278643315164299829noreply@blogger.com
