Because that way I can have two couch projects!  My Kusha Kusha scarf continues, but I'm finding that threadlike silk/stainless steel yarn with an increasing smaller progression of needles to be completely incompatible with watching Olympic Track and Field events.  So, since I have two TV's (if you count our home theatre projector) and two couches, I've decided that I can have two projects that I focus on when I'm dedicating myself to visual pursuits.

And almost nothing could be more perfect for this than the Zebra Striper Dress.


Around and around and around many stitches on small needles with only the occasional decrease row to look forward to over the course of about 15 inches.  And with a baby who isn't getting any smaller, I really need to get going if I want to be able to make the dress and the sweater in the same size! 

It's a good thing that there is a lot of Olympics to watch!
