Only a *FOOL* Would be Out in This WICKED-WINDY-WHACKY-WEATHER!

SO GLAD THAT "PAPER-RECYCLE-DAY" IS *TOMORROW*!!
-- Otherwise, EVERYTHING would have ended up MILES AWAY!

Overnight, TEMPS had gone Down a little. Then, there was the Odd-Bit of RAIN... By Dawn, the WINDS began to Blow... By the Afternoon, the "GUSTS" were Scaring the TREES and RATTLING the HOUSE!! -- Oh! AND, let's NOT Forget the BURSTS of HORIZONTAL-SQUALLING-TINY-SNOW-PELLETS, *between* the BANDS of SUNSHINE!?!

Whatever... NOT a "Good Day" to go OUT Looking to SEE "What" Stores were Opened!

Meanwhile, I *finally* Finished that Latest HAT Last Night... I wanted to See HOW *Far* those NEW 50g BALLS would go..?? -- As it happens, I *LITERALLY* Used EVERY-INCH of ONE-BALL!! - And THAT, was for just HALF of the HAT... Which, was also SHORTER than the REGULAR-ONES! -- Granted, I also Used a slightly Larger NEEDLE, but the "Length"-Decrease would have Compensated for that...

Anyhoo... Considering the PRICE per BALL-Size, THAT YARN will *have* to go into the
"EXPENSIVE"-STASH! - IT's just NOT Practical for My CRAFT SHOW "PRICE-POINTS"... And, despite the Great-COLOURS, the actual YARN *QUALITY* just ISN'T "LUX" enough to Justify a Higher SELLING-Price. Especially, in THIS TOWN!!

Think I'll just Keep IT for MYSELF...
