I love the look of the slip stitches in the back loop, but I wish I could make slip stitches just a wee bit faster… Also, my tension is not as even as it would be with another stitch. So this will likely need a border to fix it up a bit.

Updated 12/18/12: Lessons learned from this project: Pay attention when making slip stitches. (Hint: Don’t work on this while trying to watch Prometheus.) Also, crappy acrylic and slip stitches are not a lady’s best friend. I think this will work better with wool in the future.
