Yarn Issues

So this is a picture of the unbelievably cute Sylvan in her idea of a good outfit for shopping for party favors for her birthday party on Sunday. Well, actually there seems to be a problem with my pictures uploading to blogger right now, so I'll have to do the picture later. She is wearing that dress that I knitted for her when she was like 18 months old. It fits her now. :) It's made out of some kind of mercerized cotton, and I was noticing that suddenly all the ends of the yarn seem to be comming undone. Is this a common problem with mercerized cotton? The dress isn't actually falling apart yet, but I can see that it won't last for ever, if I can't figure out a way to keep it from unraveling. In other news I washed Peter's sweater, and discovered that you shouldn't wash the knit picks Swish superwash in warm water! It got all the extra dye out, but it also made it pill like crazy! So I'm not so happy with the yarn choices I've made right now, but I am hopeful my future projects will turn out better. I have now started two other projects. I have the baby booties from the Drops pattern almost done. I just need a contrasting color of the Tahki cotton to make the little border. I have also started a little beach bag in sugar and cream for Sylvan. She was feeling like I was making everything for other people, and so I thought that it would be fun to make something small for her. I will try again later with the pictures!
