You motivated me to investigate further, Tod. Thank you. A close looks says May 10th, 1967. I managed to find this wonderful Aussie archive site called Trove and now I have the pattern I wanted.

. The mad cap on our cover - pulled down well over the ears and with cut-outs for eyes - would make a conversation piece in any ski wardrobe.
Here are directions to crochet the cap:

Crochet one row double crochet in contrast yarn round eyeholes.

Nice I am sure it will be very very warm.

It was prob perfect if you have a Beehive hair style as well.

Not sure if Emu Sports Wool is still made

All the yarn databases still have that brand but not that particular yarn, so I assume it's discontinued. Well, it says to double up that yarn, which I assume is a sports weight. And the hook size translates to size H, U.S. So I can pretty much double up any sports weight yarn or use one strand of worsted(average) and it'd turn out just fine. Worsted weight didn't exist back then. Shame it doesn't include sizing as well.

And I wouldn't use red yarn, for reasons Zakku has already stated. And I think my white yarn would make it look like I'm sort of KKK groupie. Maybe if I sew flowers on it.

My yarn knowledge is next to nil.

I am guessing your translations are right, you should knit one up and post a pic, yes red white, pink and brown are out.

I bought something very delicious today that I never tried before. Irish Soda Bread(arán sóide). Sweet but not too sweet and the caraway seeds are a nice tough. I found a recipe for it online that I may try out next time.

Ingredients

* 5 cups sifted all-purpose unbleached flour
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
* 2 1/2 cups mixed light and dark raisins, soaked in water for 15 to 20 minutes and drained
* 3 tablespoons caraway seeds
* 2 1/2 cups buttermilk
* 1 large egg, slightly beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter 2 (9 by 5-inch) bread pans.

Stir together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in the butter and mix very thoroughly with your hands until it gets grainy. Stir in raisins and caraway seeds.

Add the buttermilk and egg to the flour mixture. Stir until well moistened. Shape dough into 2 loaves and place in the pans.

Bake for 1 hour. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool in the pans for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

And El, I love soda bread especially if you top it with oats

Suddenly addicted to Squiby. Most low maintenance thing ever. Basically, you shop around for pets. Some pets are easy to get but others require answering a riddle to get them. Don't have to feed them or anything. Just let people click on them and after X amount of clicks, the pets evolve. So basically pretty that evolves.









Last 2 are password only but the clues are easy to find.

Aside from that, very focused on texturing 3D art right now.

Do they hatch from the eggs?

Are there any draggies?

Yeah, there's a lot of dragons, pokemons and lots of random shit. I go for more of the random shit. Like the pink egg in my sig is Inuyasha's mom. I know nothing about Inuyasha but I saw its second and third form and thought, ooo pretty.

This one is definitely a dragon, but you have to solve the riddle to figure out the password to unlock it.


Latest ones I collected are "sheepies." I decided to collect the Atebus Sheepy and the Haggis Sheepy. They evolve into sheep.



Here's my profile with my collection so far.

Pretty much, I look around and if I see something I consider really shiny, I'll go to the artist's profile and see what else they have.

There's lots of dragons but if you'd like a specific artist, this one makes many:
