Well, not quite... Yesterday I discovered that a lot of chestnuts had fallen from the trees in a small park I pass through on my way to and from class. I took a few home with me to get a better look at them, because I realized that I really don't know much about chestnuts. I suspected that they were Horse chestnuts, and after poking around on Wikipedia, it looks like I was right. I also discovered that the Horse chestnuts are not really chestnuts at all, but a different species of tree, and the nuts are not edible. I feel a little disappointed about that, because I don't think I've ever seen real chestnuts, the ones you can eat. I would like to try some one day. The Water chestnuts you get at Chinese restaurants aren't really chestnuts either, so... Anyway, I think I'll have to try and crochet some, maybe experiment with different kinds and everything :)
