Hour 4.5

I spent most of hour 3 knitting on a ribbing to the entrelac basket-cap I made from an issue of Wool Gathering. And most of the second hour trying to do a sewn bind-off.

But after getting 10 stitches in twice and having a twisted purl bind-off instead of the desired knit rib bind-off, I gave up. I realized that I know kitchener and I can read my knitting, so I’m gonna stop reading the book. When my movie (Spellbound) ended, this is where it was:
