This has been a frustrating week for me. I finished the photography sample for a design, and was trying to take my photos of it before sending the FO to the company. 4-5 days of fighting with my camera and editing software later, I discover that it's my MONITOR that's buggered colour-wise! I'm emailing the co-ordinator tomorrow to find out if my un-corrected images are good enough, since they seem to match the thumbnail of the yarn I got from their website. I am at the heel of one contest entry, and barely started a second. I won first place last year so I'm hoping for a repeat! /end shameless boasting
I haven't worked on my shrug at all because all it needs is a few inches of stockinette... it comes in too handy for knitting in the truck during the 3-hour-each-way trips I have to take into the city every week or two. I did start the ruffle on a cardigan for my daughter. I want to get it up to the point of straight knitting so that it can become my truck knitting. I can then finish up my shrug. After the "sleeves" are done, I have to sew them up and then pick up stitches for the body ribbing around the opening.
I also have to whip up a pair of slippers or two in the next day or so. My DH informed me when he was home last time (2 weeks ago) that he has already blown a hole in his "work" slippers. I made them for his first trip out in January, so they didn't even last 2 months! These ones are gonna be out of his work sock wool leftovers!
I know he's expecting to find his afghan finished when he gets home on Wednesday, but he will be sadly disappointed. I have been working on it a bit in the mornings when I can't knit, but can crochet. The week spent with my dining room set up as a photographer's studio cut into my "free" time way too much.
