My freedom skirt is coming along. It’s all stockinette right now which is relaxing to knit but not thrilling in the blog sense. I had cast on 200 stitches and didn’t bother to count anymore. Why bother? It was just stockinette right? Then the knitter’s intuition kicked in and told me to count my stitches. I did and had 199. What to do?

Sieben is growing so fast. I made him a pull toy out of a thrifted jean skirt. Basically I cut the skirt into a long spiral piece of fabric then cut that into three pieces.
