It looks a bit loose in places, but not hole-loose, just loose-loose, so I <em>think</em> it's just my tension that's the problem. I did short rows on the still-unpictured booties, so I've got a vague idea about the slipping stitches to avoid holes thing. (The key word here would be "vague.") Thanks for alerting me to the hacker activity, Ria! And thank you, Turkish hacker children, for reminding me that I should really update my version of WordPress. (I can't prove that they're children, but I'm assuming they are, because 1) they hacked a <em>knitblog,</em> 2) all they did was alter two entries, and 3) it took them eighteen hours to do so.) Since my WordPress is all nice and updated now, though, y'all don't need to do it again. I didn’t slip stitches, but I don’t think it made a difference with the fuzzy-ish yarn on 3mm needles.

I imagine fuzzy yarn or tight stitches wouldn't show much of a hole anyway, really, but I went through some annoyance learning to do that properly when I did all the short rows on the Petal Bib. And now you've convinced me that I ought to update my own knitblog. New post will come tomorrow! (Or possibly tonight, depending on how tired I feel after getting home from work. :p) Also, hurrah for the erasure of hacker material!
