As documented here, I spent the last three weeks knitting a dress. It was quite a fun knit while I was doing it - stripes and loads and loads of stocking stitch on the round is my idea of fun. The drama came at the end - the hem curled like crazy. Of course the hem curled, it's 5 rounds of 5x1 rib. I blocked the body before deciding what to do with sleeves. It miraculously stopped curling, but was rather too long. then I finished the sleeves, blocked it again and it's the perfect length. No idea how that happened.
Meanwhile I used the left-over yarn to make my first project from Kate Davies' Summer of Mystery Club - the Little Venice Hat. It came out a little slouchier than expected, but I love a slouchy hat, so it's a win.

I didn't knit them to wear them as a matching set, and the first time I put them on together was for these photos. Separately I love both these items - together they look like a sleep set! Needless to say I won't be wearing them together, but I have been wearing them separately with a great deal of joy.
