Pixie Purls Knitting & Spinning

« What a week! | Main | Step by Step »

it's on!

We ordered our plan tickets, hotel and car rental for Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival, it is SO on!!

I was really frustrated because the flights went up in price form last week by a good $50 a seat, no fun. So who will I see this year? I wonder if Cara will come again. I met Eunny and saw Wendy and of course Monica of My Two Left Needles (who seems to be MIA and I miss reading her blog dearly!). It's too late and I'm too tired to link all those names up, sorry! I think I even have some pixie pins stashed some place.

I'm just anxious and excited about my new pattern (first even!) and a bit frustrated because I want to release it next week but I wanted to re-knit it but I won't get the new numbers until tomorrow so there really isn't time to re-knit and re-shoot the photos. So I am considering just using the test-knit photos for the pattern but that is very different yarn then I used (but I sure loved in the FO and now want to order some of the yarn myself!). The entire original concept was a patriotic top, but then I think if I make it less "theme-y" it will probably be more accessible to people. I could always use the photos of her in the 4th of July version but I like having a photo of a proper sized top to really show off how well it looks on the babies form. Properly fitting is always better. I could wait another week to release it, but I'm SO ANXIOUS! It's nice having you all along on my journey on becoming a "designer" and all the trials and tribulations one goes through. It's all rather fun though!

Too funny, we just booked our hotel too! Where are you staying?

About the pattern - I know you well enough by now to know that with EITHER pictures, it will be great! I know it's been a bit of a challenge but the end result is well worth it!

hoping to get the top finished in the next few days.......

Cool! I'll be there, can't wait. Hopefully this will be the year when i can finally get there without a child attached :) Hope to see you!
