Ribbit!

Note my progress on the Jollyfish Hat has gone back to 0%. I frogged the whole thing because I really need to add another 20 or so stitches around. It just fits my youngest and next year won't fit anyone. He was trying it on for me and he says "just add some more over here". Yeah. So out it comes. I love the feel of the sport wight I'm using for it, and I'm on 1's. All my guys like the small gauge stuff, of course. I do too though really. I took a poll at the shop of who would think it was cheating to do the Jollyfish chart on the hat in duplicate stitch. I think so, but everyone else was being nice. It's just that the fish only goes half way around and I don't want to carry the white the rest of the way around. I tried the intarsia in the round last night and I ended up having so many really long floats to deal with as I worked it that it was a lot to fool with. Plus try trying to keep my mind around which row I was on... So duplicate stitch is another option. I should ask Juli Ridl what she thinks since it's her pattern. For now I'm back to the start. Oh well, I can listen to Prairie Home Companion tonight, and my britcoms are on.
