I am in UR Knittingz making UR Caps

[sarahbyrdd]

A test Monmouth cap to be exact.  Plenty of mistakes in it but I want to plunk it on the head of it's eventual wearer to see how it fits before I start working on the real thing and unravel the test.  Lots of good stuff learned in the process:  casting on, knitting in the round, using double pointed needles, 2 kinds of reducing, and I-cord. 

It was FUN, and went relatively quickly ... hmmm ... it may be a very cappy Christmas...

Yes, zwischenny, I am now well on my way to being a Yarn-ho ...

Good question!

Answer: "How long's a piece of string?"

In other words, it depends on the wool, the gauge of the knitting, the way you full it.

10 - 25% I suspect, if you do it gently and keep an eye on it.
