You guessed it – it started to snow at about 9pm, I had completed the increases I had planned, so we considered – should we, or should we not go out and check the knitting against the ball?

Snowing – white knitted ball cover – Cold ball

No choice really – wrapped up warm, hid the ball cover in my bag and went to the Grote Markt (Town Square). It is Friday night, lots of people about, some hardy tourists, and the bars are quite full. Rising panic – What would happen this time? Are they waiting for us? Does everyone know? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?

nah

I lifted the white knit a little dubiously out of my bag (It suddenly seemed like a beacon and very heavy). I had to be calm and behave as though this is just normal – checking knitting against a large stark, solid, and grey stone ball in the middle of Haarlem, in the middle of the night. (well about 10pm), I laid it on the ball – and yes for all you knitters out there, I have increased the right number of stitches – so can now proceed with my hand span of straight ribbed knitting before decreasing. I love my hands, they measure and knit quite well. For this ball warmer I used Yarn Over increases and hoped to see the strong grey solid stone through the holes but it was dark of course so I have no idea as yet whether it will show / shine through the white/creamy/soft/fluffy knitting.

Unfortunately we tried the camera on a night scene setting – so the photos are rubbish.

So I guess we will have to do it again.

Or we will just install it
