Quick updates abound

Probably won't get much updating done this weekend... I'll definitely be at work all weekend:
  • 3:30-11ish today
  • 7:30am-midnight or 1am tomorrow
  • 9:30-5ish Sunday

...Yeah. Fun. At least we'll get a couple hours of downtime tomorrow, so I can knit. Or maybe I'll bring Super Munchkin and try to teach everyone how to play. Or how much of a geek I am.

I have figured out how to knit this hat without a ribbon band thingy, though. (Don't get me wrong, I think it's cute; I just think it'll end up looking not-so-cute on me.) By doing some math, I would end up with 108 stitches (for the small size) before doing the crown decreases. By stopping at row 13 in the pattern, though, I had 132 stitches. A 24-stitch difference? Yeah, that'd be several inches off. But the crown decreases are repeated 12 times through the row. Perfect! So, just do a couple rows like the crown decreases, except with a row of plain knitting in between. Yay! I'll get a picture up when I can.

Grr, time to start getting ready for work...
