My Kimono
It is finished! I started the kimono 2 weeks ago, and seamed it and sewed the ribbon on this morning around 6:15am (couldn't sleep.) Besides, I was so excited to take it to my sister's for my sweet niece Maria. I (with the help of my awesome friend/non-knitter Travis) changed the pattern just a little to allow it to fit Maria when it gets chillier in the fall. At least, that was my plan. We'll see if/when it will fit her - keep in mind that this is my first handknit article of clothing. I am a fairly new knitter (and what seems like a slow learner!) Either way, I thought it turned out fantastic. I used Bernat Cotton Tots, by the way. Oh, and here is my very own warshrag in use (Yes, I finally kept one for myself.)

Your kimono looks really nice! I hope the one I am working on at the moment will turn out as lovely.
Can you tell me how you did the increase edge with the YO? did you knit a stitch and then YO? I'm in the process of a kimono but stuck at the edge because I'm not sure mine looks right.
I wish I could find the ballband to tell you which colorway it was, but I seemed to have misplaced it. I did knit a stitch and then YO - mine didn't look right either, and my SNB book said to do a YO at least one stitch in.
