Every other row is striped, but I think the colors would look better with a color change every two rows.
I tried a traveling rounds technique for jogless stripes in the round for the first time. I usually use a slip stitch technique that doesn't travel.
It produces an interesting effect on the wrong side of the work.

I do like how straight the color changes are on the wrong side. It inspires me to make one with the right side like this.

| The stripes are so straight! |
Since I knit rather tightly, the traveling rounds tend to make the hat pull a bit in places, so I will have to remember to knit loosely during color changes. It just looks off to me, but Chris says he can't see anything.

Pom-poms are still my fluffy little enemies. No matter what technique or tool I use, I always feel they are impossible little boogers.
This one didn't turn out so bad, but it is a bit lopsided. One day I will perfect the pom-pom! One day!
