My project updates are getting a little ridiculous because it is practically the same things!
My new project is Soft Kid Bubble from Boutique Knits book. I am about 9 inches into it. Now I am having to problem solve because I am leaving out the pockets. This was an attempt to conserve yarn because I maybe about 80 yards short and I just think they will stretch and hang funny. That 9 inches is looking very beautiful.
Next project which I thought I was finished with is the Leaf tee. I am going back and putting sleeves in and ribbing along the neck and bottom edges. Everytime I look at it I just feel it is crappy looking and unfininshed. Not just that I felt very frumpy wearing it. I used yarn that had no dye lot and it is very obviously that I did not incorporate it together. I am actually banking on some dye bleeding in the blocking process to make it somewhat uniform.
Black Unmentionables are a couple of rounds away from being finished. I am ripping out the BO in the first leg because I think it is too tight for the ruffle. Nothing major, but I am happy to see them nearly finished.
Inamorata, the infamous trouble maker, is still incomplete. I wanted to wear it on 4th of July weekend so I was trying my best to get it finished. I have been crocheting around until I get to the spots that need straps to cut down on finishing time. I have finished the front straps and button holes/buttons and I was rounding to the spot of the back straps. I put the top on so my husband could help me place the straps. I got up without thinking and ripped out 5 inches of crochet. I was so angry I haven't touched it since. It has been nothing but a pain in the rear!!!!
R's retro bathing suit is just about finished!! I can't remember if I have posted about this project. It is so cute; it is a SockPixie pattern that she published with Petite Purls online publication. I am using Cascade Fixation in hot pink and lime green. I am working on the ribbing around the sleeves and the neck and back. R is so tiny that the size 2t is too large, but hopefully this means she can wear it next summer too.
I am continuing writing patterns for my Blythe dolls. Unfortunately, my weekend did not go as planned so nothing new is ready.
I did work on my second batch of cotton yarn that I dyed. I have several more section that need to be rinsed before I post photos. I will post the first attempt at the same time. The tie-dye kit has been working out rather well. I am pretty proud of the finished products.

I enjoy your project updates. I had to go find the bubble knit on ravelry How cute! The tee you are knitting is so pretty too. I think I see the color difference you were talking about - but I hope it will work out. Such a pretty pattern and color!
It wasn't an issue to me at first, but now it really bothers me.
I can't wait to have the bubble top finished! It is so soft and pretty!
