Surprise!
So the reason my knitting has been stressful is that it had a deadline. Yahaira is currating a book of knitting patterns. I thought it was a long shot but I put togther an idea I'd had for a long time and submitted it for consideration. She and the publisher actually liked it! I couldn't believe it, I was so floored. So for the past few weeks I've been knitting my fingers to the bone. Thrilling, but a bit stressful when you have to have something finished by a specific date. The book is full of knitters much more talented than myself and it sounds like it will be full of some incredible pieces made with incredible yarns. I'm not certain when it will be coming out but congrats to Yahaira for putting together a wonderful thing. Now my knitting can get back to some semblance of normality!

I know how you feel about the deadline. I was crazed til I got mine in. It was such a great feeling to be done with it though! Ya' know, my own creation & all.
I'm sure you had that too!! I can't wait to see it all done!

that's so great! and you shouldn't be so humble about it -- she wouldn't have picked your design if it weren't fabulous.
