Nothing new, but Cassidy hasn't been cooperating.  Total user error though, because I didn't RTFM. (Read the F*ing Manual) all the way through before I started knitting it... My fault.
Mitten Gestures: Just listen haha

~Tip of the Week
Don't lose your keys.  You'll spend hours trying to find them, and you'll end up deciding that you need one of those key beepers because the keys are lost EVERY DAY. (I haven't actually bought the key beeper but I probably should...)
