Yarn in my Skate Bag

I figure skate. I knit. But not at the same time.

She's Blocking!

But why, oh why, does cotton take so long to dry!? I want to take her button shopping and wear her noooooooooooooooow. Even though I'm sick of looking at this yarn, I've started a coordinating handbag (whether I'll actually use it while wearing the sweater is another question, might be a little much, but I'd definately use it with other outfits). Just a simple square purse, about 8 or 9 inches wide, probably 6" high, flap that closes over the top will have the same crochet trim. I've got a cute idea for a strap forming in my head right now, too.

It looks lovely. Sometimes I get so impatient waiting for cotton to dry that I hurry it along by putting in on one of those sweater-drying-screen-thingies. Seems to help the drying and not really affect the blocking.

Love love LOVE.

Yes, careful about the cotton. I made a one-skein wonder to wear to a wedding in May- I finished it during the car ride down to Virginia, meaning I had to block it in the hotel room. I forgot how incredibly loooooong cotton takes to dry, and ended up having to go to the wedding wearing a wet one-skein wonder. True story.

Miss you!
