weekend update
Out kipping again. After having no luck with my sock while coming back from dropping the car off at the shop, I decided to try a different project for the ride out to the dealer to pick it up. I started making another tiger hat, this one for my nephew for Christmas. He's 6 and the pattern is only written for 2-3 years, so I had to guess at about how much larger to make it. Here's a picture of progress so far. I stopped right where the intarsia begins for the tiger stripes. Didn't want to attempt that in the train! I'm not sure if I have enough of the orange yarn, so I'm doing the rolled brim in the contrast color (that's actually how it is in the original pattern).
Elizabeth is also coming along. I've done the edging, short-row shaping and first dart. I'm feeling pretty good about how she's turning out. Lookie, lookie!
