Random Nonsense

[debka_notion]

I'm almost done with a paper for tomorrow, so here are some random bits while I try to think of a nice ending...

For one thing, I laid out all my kippot today so that I could lend one to Steve for noam_rion to use, and re-found one that I have from college that I've never worn much because it's just too flat to be practical. So I got it wet, and let it start drying between two bowls, and it has cupped enough that it should be actually wearable. It's drying some more on my head right now, and then will return to the bowls when I go to sleep. It is remarkably stiff though- it's sort of like wearing a small helmet...

On a completely unrelated note, I got to take a small adventure to Columbia's main library for work this morning to return some books and also to print a few articles for the JTS library (Columbia, being bigger, has better subscriptions to online journals and such). For this I needed to acquire a Columbia library card- so I now have a Columbia ID with a rather lousy photo.

And now I have finished the paper, although there are a couple of sort of tacky lines that I may take out in the morning- we'll see.

I have had the very same problem with crochetting kippot...so hard to make them anything other than flat as a pancake! I like your idea of drying it between the bowls, though.

If you stop adding stitches after a certain point, kippot should cup naturally- sometimes even enough that you need to stretch them out so that they don't stick up oddly on the head.

The bowl idea is taken from friends- but it does seem to work.
