Graded:
Candie Cottontail-- bunny girl in a dotty dress-- A+

Typewriter: Vanilla socks with a Fish Lips Kiss Heel in the gorgeous Ladybug Fibers Magic Carpet colorway. This is my favorite sock yarn/colorway to date.
Tyrian Loop cowl has been frogged. My i-cord cast-on was much, much too tight. It needs to be about twice as big.

Yarn Maintenance:
Looking for moths has lead me to spend many an hour cleaning out closets & the stash. Yuck. I'd much rather be knitting.
I sewed a ribbon onto the inside of the button band on a little Baby Surprise Jacket.
I lengthened my Dorflinger Tee.
I blocked my Insulate! hat and it fits much better now, thank you very much.
