If the tears and sneezing are any indication I might be getting a cold. Started some pre-emptive battling (tea, honey, scarf) yesterday, but so far no change. Oh well. We'll see. :D.
@hellochelllo I used 2 threads of 3-4mm yarn on 6mm needles, 72 stitches at the beginning, k2 p2 for a while (the bottom part). Then I added 8 more stitches (evenly, so appr. 1 every 8 stitches) and stocking stitch till I thought it was long enough. :D
