Maybe it's just semantics, but most pillar candles I've bought in the last 15+ years have come with that suggestion, up until the point when you started to be able to buy higher-end candles at Target & similar places that didn't tend to come with as much documentation as stuff from candle stores used to. Ppl interested in making Calorimetry - it seems like every knitting magazine had a similar headband this winter, and that's about the only one that didn't have a cable. If you check out the Urban Outfitters website, they had - may not still have - a similar headband in a slightly different style that wouldn't be hard to make into a pattern with your own yarn - figure out how wide it needs to be, cast on like 3 sts, do matched increases until you get to the width you want, etc. I liked the design a little better than Calorimetry - no ribbing, solid color, a yarn that seemed kind of like Manos. People might like to check it out. It's 12 degrees and snowy here today, so I could see myself knitting a headband or hat tonight. :) I think that Lifehacker post is a bit questionable: you're not actually "making the candle last longer", you're using it as a tealight holder that makes it look as if you're burning a larger candle.

I was wondering what kind of yarn you were using? I'm hopping to start one soon, I'm just awful at the whole gauge thing... must be the whole "didn't ever pass a college math class" thing. Either way, I love your blog, I've been reading it for years! Its also nice to read now that you live in Seattle, I get ideas or hear about things I might miss in the areas I don't get to, I live just south... XOXOX funny, my comment is about the Calorimetry as well.

I am knitting that same project. Actually, I am having my second go at it. The first one, I was too lazy to bother knitting a swatch and it turned out big enough to fit someone with a 36" head. Have no fear, Calorimetry, Part Deux is coming along swimmingly. Happy knitting. I just noticed that you're knitting Calorimetry. I am knitting that same project.
