So, I've been working on this other thing. I guess it's safe to blog about since I'm finished.
It's a shrug for a bride...(never you mind that laundry it's clean)
A friend of my mother has a daughter who is getting married...
My mom recommended me and she accepted. It's my first commissioned piece...
I enjoyed the process, modifying the pattern for size and specifications. It was a bit like being a hair dresser; hoping that what I think she wanted is indeed what she wants...
In the end I was very pleased with how it turned out, and she's promised me pictures. It is a bit strange working so hard on something that I'll never see again and for that reason, I may not want to do this again. Another thing I wasn't counting on when I started this was that I would have so much trouble remaining momogamous to one project. I usually like to play around with different things, some of which get finished and some which don't...so it was really hard not to knit other things up--especially since I came home with all that delicious yarn from sock camp. Now, having finished, I immediately cast on two new things, aaaahhhhh....
Monkey Socks in Kaw Kaw (camp special colorway but you get it here)
And a Mobius scarf in Eggplanted from BMFA...
Also, on the list of really cool shtuff, my new-very-best-friend-from-sock-camp made me a present. You can buy some too if you go to her Etsy shop...
This one I ordered from her shop...
It's called 'frog pond' but this next one was made just for me :) I've turned it inside out (the outside is all like the pocket) so you can see all the features--inside pocket, 'key' ring, loop for hanging stuff on, row counter and carabeener features on the drawstring...
My. so. cool. MONKEY BAG!!!!

She sent me an email and said that she thought it was perfect!! I had added a little drawstring bag (lipstick and powder size) to the package and she said she loved that, too!
