I am making some progress on the ChicKami, it is looking good except that the ribbing is not exactly 1x1. For some reason I seem to have a hard time making 1x1 ribbing look right, I mean, it is not very forgiving - one little mistake and the whole thing is off. I keep telling myself that with time, I will get better since I will be able to identify types of stitches easier and therefore not make (or at least catch) the mistakes. The great thing about this kami is that once I got past the ribbing, it is so easy! All in the round with a knit stitch. We'll see if I'm still saying that when I get to the armholes!

All this knitting has mainly been a huge avoidance thing for the packing that I really should be doing!

Here you can see the difference in the siding on the house. To the left of the chimney is the old, to the right is the new. Whoa! What a huge difference!
