* My Socks for Soldiers kit arrived today and I cast on my very first pair of Big Black Socks. I've been thinking about doing this for awhile, and 
finally got around to it at the end of my vacation a couple of weeks ago.

- it also came with 4 stitch markers; a cute little monkey ruler thingy, a couple of plastic darning needles, and some really really flexible plastic dpns (I tried using them and it made me feel twitchy -weird- so I switched back to my bamboos).
* I played more on Ravelry. I now have several things I'd like to try.
QUESTION: as cotton shrinks, what can I use or how do I modify (ie. how much bigger do I make it) if I'm trying to knit a hat (not for myself that will definately get washed hot) that calls for cotton?
* I had a couple more adventures on Lime and Violet's KnitWars.

Awesome. I've got to check out the Knit Wars thing.
I don't know if you saw the yarn in a knot on my blog. That is the superwash I was going to use for your yarn. There's a few fuzzy spots but I think it'll. However, I can give you some of the merino non-superwash instead (I only had one superwash skein.) Which would you prefer.
Hey, have you heard about the Shut Up I'm Counting Contest? I understand that I'm trolling for points, but I think you'd like it anyway. It's Sea Silk after all!
