Firstly, yes, putting a dinner plate inside a hat when blocking does result in the perfect beret shape!
Very pleased with that result, we shall use that tip again!
Suddenly the work has started piling up again. I have made a start on the basic structure of a knitted cuckoo clock - this is going to take some doing, especially as I want to have the cuckoo actually go inside it's doors....a step too far? We'll give it a go! Also got some tiny LED light for inclusion in the mini chandelier, also for the animated film. That will (supposedly) be the last item for the animation- I know I have moaned for England over getting all these tiny things designed and made, but it has been great fun and I know I will miss the challenges.
As well as the above there are three little dog sets to be made and a dog portrait to be painted.......
...so why am I still fiddling about with this crochet scarf? Hopefully it will be complete by tonight and I can concentrate on the other projects. I'm also hoping that blocking will work it's usual magic and a beautiful scarf will emerge from what currently looks like an old dish rag.....

LOL Can't wait to see the cuckoo clock and chandelier. :-)
I have to remember the dinner plate tip for next time I knit something... been very lazy with knitting recently.
The shawl looks nothing like a dishrag, but very small? Or is that the photo? xo
