In the days since making the gopher hat, I've started exploring/practicing/studying knitted increases ... which is weird since that project required decreases, but whatever ... and my side of the couch is littered with increase swatches and cones and handwritten notes about M1L and M1R and kfb.  I am determined to absorb this information.  

I am the CraftBorg.  Resistance is futile.  Knitting Skillz, you will be assimilated.
(I wish saying it made it true.)
