HAT FOR A BLIND PERSON

    The hat that I am currently working on is surely destined for a blind person.
    I started with some double-ply grey, and when that was knit up, I went to a combined black-brown. When I had knit up the black ply, I went to a grey. When I finish with the brown, I will probably go to a double-grey. Black-brown-grey, not the most attractive color combination. (Knitting up your stash can be overwhelming.)
    The most positive thing about this hat -- being a double-ply, it's heavier than some of the others and will no doubt be warmer. So in return for ignoring the bad color choices, the wearer gets a warmer hat. Hey, if the hat is on your head, you can't see the colors anyway.
    Repeating a previous post, I've forgotten how to activate the comment section, so if you have a burning need to comment on my color choices, email me at findreship@aol.com. You'll have to do this manually, I've also forgotten how to create a link. Sorry.

TWO EXTRA BALLS?

    Trying to knit up my stash.
    Too much stash can be overwhelming.
    Started to knit a hat with some multi-colored yarn. Thought I had two balls. Tried to keep them together even while I carried the project around, especially if I'm waiting in the car. Kept finding the second ball, kept putting it some place where I would be able to find it when I needed it. This morning I found the "second" ball near my upstairs recliner. Tried to think of where I could put it so I could find it when I needed it. Then, slowly, realized I had already joined the second ball to the project. I had two "second" balls.
    Knitting up the stash can be overwhelming.
