I'm so proud!)<BR/><BR/>20 points for documentation of results (Pictures and everything!)<BR/><BR/>20 points for using knitting in science (Nuff said)<BR/><BR/>Perfect score!

I'll e-mail you a link to a decent earflap picture. There aren't really any good, well-lit shots of the hat in the show, so all of the available patterns are approximations and interpretations. I kind of enjoy that fact; maybe it's permission to do it "wrong," since no one really has it "right."<BR/><BR/>I know, Mr. Wizard's brain would kill my brain in 2 seconds if they had a cage match. I credit Mr. Wizard (and my upbringing) for my desire to try things out and see for myself. Also, messes don't count if they're made in the pursuit of Scientific Knowledge. ;)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116024254765332228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320520740366197657.post-83629779069421554292008-01-29T11:32:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:32:00.000-05:00Cool Hat!

I know, I'm exposing my uncoolitude with that question, but are they?<BR/><BR/>Excellent experiment in true Mr. Wizard fashion. Although Mr. Wizard wouldn't have to rely on Wikipedia for scientific backing, he just knew that stuff. Watching him as a kid led to my tolerance for messes I am sure.<BR/><BR/>Love, MomBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674498749658797831noreply@blogger.com
