Jill, host of Jillybeans Creative Candy Jar, shares her June update, covering a busy month at work and a mix of creative successes and failures. She discusses her knitting projects, including a sock for her mother, a Liberty sock, and an epic fail with the Angelina tee, which she had to rip out due to sizing issues. She offers tips on counting rows with stitch markers and measuring for garments.

  • Jill shares two knitting tips: using traveling stitch markers to count rows and knitting a sleeve before binding off the body of a sweater to ensure proper fit.
  • She celebrates two cross-stitch finishes and one fully finished object (FFO), including a biscornu from the 'Land that I Love' book.
  • Jill describes her epic fail with the Angelina tee, which she had to rip out due to excess fabric, and her plan to knit it again with adjustments.
  • She shows her new cross-stitch starts: Deadly Aquarium and Ocean View, both on 36-count fabric.
  • Jill mentions her plans for Christmas in July, including working on a Santa Advent pattern.
  • She discusses her purchases, including a December Stitches pattern and fabric from Stitch New England.
