Yesterday I blocked two of the shawlettes knit a few months back - it's a necessary chore or the lovely lace design will be totally lost and the knit item will just look like a scrunchy mess. These are still pinned out, can't wait to unpin them and see how they turned out. These are holiday gifts for later in the year - I can show them as these two don't read my blog but once I start blocking other ones they will not be seen here as they are also gifts. The shawlette I started last week is almost finished, the peachy one, I worked on it while riding in the car on our road trip.
Yesterday I also did another chore, a dreaded one...........weighing out a big order of roving to sell in one of my etsy shops. Sam helped me which makes the job goes three times as fast as just one person doing it - as he says, we have a 'process'. Then I spent much time on administrivia putting it into inventory and updating the etsy shop. So, glad to have that behind me........until I place the next order........or decide to call it quits on the roving side of my business.........
Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there. I miss my Dad terribly, we lost him in 2007.
I thought you already decided about the roving? Your dad was one cool dude.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had decided on the roving but I keep waffling - the income from it is really nice.
DeleteYeah, my Dad was cool - he was a kind, gentle, easy going kind of man.
Beautiful! I have a shawl I need to block too. It's on my long to-do list. Maybe this week. The warmer weather will dry it quickly.
