Ok, we're at the end of it. Yay! Now who's with me? DST is stupid!! You aren't saving daylight. As one person put it in a comment I saw on an article - only the gov't would think that by cutting 12 inches from the bottom of a blanket and sewing it to the top could they make a longer blanket. LOL
Ok, I read it had to do with energy savings back in WW2 (needing to use lightbulbs earlier in the evening). I guess it didn't occur to people that if it was that big of an issue - change your business hours, not the clocks. :p Which brings me to a thought I had this morning about sundials. (You wouldn't believe the random thoughts I have in my head all the time. LOL) So, if a sundial is 12 noon when the sun is at the highest point in the sky - that would mean we'd have to subtract an hour to get the right time from a sundial in the summer wouldn't we? And how does a sundial work at other times of the year? Lower sun and all that. I'm going to have to look that up....

Ummm.... if you cut 12 inches off the bottom of a blanket and sewed it to the top you would actually be making the blanket 1/2 to 1 inch SHORTER depending on your seam allowance.
But YEP ... that IS what the government would think... unless they had a seamstress on the payroll. :D hehehe
Oh dear, TR is correct about the blanket so if I were you I'd first take out the hem to give it a little more length before sewing. Is this what they do with daylight savings time to make me all confused, like just an hour ago I started to get supper ready because it was getting dark and it was way too early for our supper.
