Very Busy, Shhhhhhh
I am spending a lot of time at the drawing board, coaxing the Knitting Bunnies I see in my head to come out on paper and later in fiber. It's hard to blog about that process when it's for publication. Knitty's Fall dead line is June 1, and like a masochistic junkie, I am preparing two submissions. I am also fighting looming self doubt. So it goes.
I do have happiness to share. During my knitting retreat, I shopped at Hill Country Weavers...I picked up that gorgeous hank of Prism lacewool and 2 hanks of HabuTextiles Bamboo lace weight. When I got home, Jamey looked over the receipts and noticed I had been charged for 3 hanks instead of the two. Oops! I emailed the owner and she was awesome: gave me the option of a refund or sending me the yarn I bought. Well obviously I got the yarn, money already spent right? And now I can make a massive intricate knitted reproduction of Jason's Golden Fleece (I am on an Ancient Greek kick aren't I?)
And happier news, I just got word that a yahoo group of Texas knitters is doing a KAL of Flit 'N Float! Awww, I feel loved. (Well the scarf feels the love, but it's enough love for me to share, natch!)
Sorry to say I have no pictures. Super Secret Projects just don't photograph well...grin.
Good luck with your designs! It sounds like fun :) And nice to meet you - I've been talking with James on Plurk and BHR and thought I'd come say hi to you!
