see favs for f+f on top of foot.
found out (after completing the heel) i had dropped a stitch in the foot! I had somewhere increased to compensate but the little stitch was hanging out waiting for me. I put a stitch marker through it and it was good for the rest of the knitting and then I just tacked it down inside with an extra piece of thread. all better!

Adjusted the colors from the original set: Fedora bubbles instead of aqua. And then used more of a graduated color for the stripes. First week of June: Finished sweater. The body of the sweater feels a little short, and I may add a crocheted edging on the bottom.June 16ish: Finished hat. Still need to do…
Got the multicolor skein from craig, bought the coordinating skein. Didn’t do the bind off exactly as written, wanted a little more ease.
Cast on like I was doing a Tier of Ruffles and then changed it as I’ve gone along. Seems like it will turn into a boat-neck shape with a ribbon, and then float out from there with increases. Found Ribbon in my stash and turned down the edge to sew the ribbon inside. Blocking nicely.
Used up 6 skeins of Simply Cotton to make 5 washclothes, a hand towel, and a small towel for baby Liam. Used this to practice my crocheting.
Rather than using a variegated yarn, I had red and white so I made stripes for the corners.
kristin voolenvine made the hat, adorable. KALs: #treatyoself15 for in a Sknit, #sikal2015 for Yarniacs.
