It’s actually 12 wedges around, the grafting of the twelfth row 14 to the provisional cast-on finishing the twelfth one.

Too drowsy to graft now.

Done!
I ran out of the never-before-used green, and finished with some of the decidedly used-before white.
Since I have a baseball-sized remainder of the white, I’ll make another. Why not?

So far, a dozen completed.

As I work my way through this bag of tightly wound cotton leftovers, it’s dawned on me that they were wound by me. My hand-wound balls aren’t ever so tight, not even when it’s cotton. Plus, I haven’t ever wound a ball so as to leave a hollow in one end. Someone wound these over her thumb or maybe a nostepinne. I guess I bought a bag of little cotton leftovers from Renaissance/Goodwill. Another couple of washcloths, and they’ll be gone!

Number 15 done. Its two photos look totally different, depending on amount of daylight.

August 30, 2024

Over twenty done so far. Even with many breaks, my hands - or rather all the joints of my hands - are complaining. Between cotton’s inelasticity and my chronic inability to work more loosely, it’s no surprise.
Only enough yarn for two or three more.

September 1, 2024

During the last week, I knit several more, but didn’t weave in the ends of joins. So, now I’m working on weaving in ends, photographing, and adding the photos here … but not necessarily in the order made. I just don’t remember which was made when.

I have finally exhausted my supply of leftover cotton scraps! To finish the last small ball, I have begun using a ball of Bernat Handicrafter.

September 5, 2024

Finished with the leftovers. Now adding huge (12 oz.) ball of Handicrafter in Smokey Wine.

Number 32 will not be given away. Besides being a mass of shorter lengths added together, I miscounted somewhere, and didn’t notice until most of the many ends were woven in. Either I added an extra wedge, or I added extra rows to one or more. At any rate, it’s 8” in diameter, while all the rest are about 7”.

September 6, 2024

When I finally noticed that number 32 was different - larger and too many rows somewhere - I decided it was the one my darling could hang beside his chair, instead of the one he’d taken earlier.

September 8, 2024

Number 35 was mostly knitted while waiting in the emergency room with my husband. After he finally saw the doctor (and wasn’t too kind to her), I gave it to her.

September 10, 2024

I have lost count! They’re all in the washing machine now, I’ll recount when they come out of the dryer.

September 11, 2024

35 washed, dried, and packed for our visit to the hospital this morning. Us to see the endocrinologist; dishcloths to the staff in the oncology unit where they cared for my dying son in 2019.

1330 hrs.
Successfully dropped off!

I have no idea how many I’ve made from this ball of yarn, but I just thought to weigh a finished one - before clipping its ends - and it’s 30g. The remaining ball is also 30g. Since I’ve already knit one and a half wedges of the next, I have enough to finish this one.

Maybe I should return to another project?
