hehe well I was looking south.... so it shouldn't be sunset itself, but I don't think it was the nacreous clouds that apparently might have been visible :P

I don't understand it either :P but apparently the clouds were glowing like the northern lights o.O

nods same here - there was a red glow, that came out purple on some of my photos, but I think that was just the glow from the sunset ;)

[edit] Wikipedia has some photos of true Nacreous clouds (link)

according to the nerdy weather people I asked,

Quote

it looks like there is mainly high level cirrus cloud above the altostratus cloud sheet, but there do seem to be some hints of nacreous clouds there too.
(the reddy purple wispy glowing clouds are the nacreous ones) :D

At least it's pouring out, and not pouring in :P ;) Hopefully it won't rain so hard it keeps you awake though ;)

:pats: Looks like we picked a bad team for this event. A NPC had to make a board for the BBFs- since no one else had. lol

hehe even she forgot a bit about one character - apparently she had to go and buy one of the earlier books to remind herself, so she could carry on writing in the cafe ;)

awww that stinks :( Well, it's the ones that run the Metcheck weather forecast site - they said you can send them photos of clouds & weather stuff on facebook, so I thought I'd ask if that was those particular clouds ;)

That must have been odd, going to the store to buy your own work. o_o

I am so confused here, on that page is says 10 ply yarn.. but when you go to the link in her blog it says 4 ply? o_O

laughs especially if they recognised her! ;)

Looking at the comments on the blog,

This might be a silly question. Do I crochet with 2 strands together?
4-Ply is thin yarn and the hook is 6mm?

Quote

not a silly question.
i just use one strand of yarn with the size j (6mm) hook.

.... that seems odd to me, to use 4-ply harn with a 6mm hook - you'd be left with really loose stitches....

I had a look at the yarn suggestions on ravelry, and they all used Aran-weight (10-ply) yarn, or DK yarn :)

Would be too funny. :) It must be hard to keep a plot going for so many books, with so many characters and details to keep in mind.

Then why put 4 ply in the pattern on the blog. :scratches head: Oh well. :)

Thanks for looking. :D 10 ply yarn should work nicely then, if that is what other people have used. :D Its such a pretty pattern, I want to make a couple of these!

hehe I guess that's the disadvantage of working in a notebook in a cafe - you can't really lug all your notes around in the same way as writing at home ;)

nods it doesn't make much sense - especially when they answered that question, and still confused things by claiming it's just one strand of 4-ply o.O

Maybe do the gauge swatch square and just check that 10-ply works ok, to save getting half way through and realising it's not the right size? ;)
