I'm trying to finish the shell border on the baby blanket and I've run into a GIGANTIC knot in my yarn ball. I usually re-wrap the yarn by hand to prevent this from happening before I begin, but I was taking advice from another knitter who said if you just use the string from the middle of the ball you have no problems. Apparently this isn't true.. or I did something wrong.
I had to take out the entire 3 sides of completed border and cut pieces of knot out.. now I'm trying to untangle the rest slowly. It's very frustrating.. also I want to get this done because I bought a pattern off of Etsy tonight. I'll be putting up a blog post on that seller within the next few days so look for that!
Alright, I was just taking a quick breather from my frustration to type this haha, I need to get back to the epic knot :( HOPEFULLY, I can finish this sucker by tomorrow!
Happy Crafting~
So things have been just insane.. things at work went down hill real fast. I can't talk about it publicly, even though there are a lot of very negative opinions I could express, but what it's come down to is that I have quit my sales associate position with Michaels BUT I will be staying on as a Bead Academy Instructor. I did get a full time job, with benefits, elsewhere [actually at a company I've worked for previously, which really is a fabulous place to be] so that is a good thing, but I will truly miss the Michaels staff. Most of the ones at my store have also resigned though, so it would not have been the same if I had decided to stay on.
Anyways! Enough of that!
I have an early shift tomorrow but I've got a bit of a Tudor's obsession and I'm rewatching the series, on Season 2 right now ;) I'm going to watch an episode and finish up the extremely late baby blanket I owe my friend [sorry it's taking so long, Jan :(]. Ok maybe not finish it completely, I'll need to do the edging on it tomorrow after work but I can finish up with the blue!
Also in the works is a necklace I'm making as a gift for a co-op student who has been working at Michaels for the past few months. Really she gets no love from management and she does such a great job, also she's a sweet heart and hugs me every time she's in! She deserves something nice as a thank you for all her hard work I think. That will have to be done before Monday since that is her last day. I asked her what her favourite colour was and she told me purple, so I picked out some nice, sparkly beads in three coordinating colours [a smokey lilac, a darker purple, and a dusty rose] and a nice delicate silver chain. I wanted something feminine and pretty, not too over the top so that it would be wearable on any occasion. I really hope she likes it!
That's what's going on in my crafting universe right now. Still looking into that new camera and also contemplating a makeup blog, haven't thought of a name yet though. I need the new camera to properly show off my pretties though, the one I have now just doesn't do them justice.
Well, better not keep Jonathan Rhys Meyers waiting any longer ;)
Happy Crafting~
