Well I got a new commission started. The last one has fallen through and I understand why. Life happens so now I have a new one and I even did a nifty little spreadsheet for the invoice that I want to double check when I go to the store tomorrow just to make sure the yarns I have picked out will work together.
This one is a well the title says it all about this. It's going to be for a gal I work with's granddaughter who loves Minnie Mouse. It was originally going to be just a simple red and white blanket because of the theme. I had to go and open my big mouth and tell her that I could put Minnie on the blanket. Why must I be so stupid? I have been dreading doing a graphghan the ends that I will need to weave in and color changes. Yeah I'm not to happy about it but I got myself into this. She know it will be a while to get it done because I am working on family gifts for Christmas.
8/6/17: Received the first payment. It's enough to get the yarn for it so I can start working on it. I'm so happy and I will also be buying yarn for Christmas while I'm at it.
1/13/18: We have a date this will need to be done by: March 17th, it's the little girl's birthday. Also as I'm going well mostly because I have to have things a specific way I am finding discrepancy in the pattern's written portion. Also I know I'm around 15 rows completed but I'm considering frogging back to the 8th row and doing a cut and join instead of continuous go of it. Reason being is I know I can bury the yarn in the row and will I'm not sure how I like the pulling the yarn up on each row. Some look okay but others bother me. I will have to decided now before I go any farther and well with it being almost 2 am I have no one to ask and will have to wait. So I will probably set the project aside for a bit and work on another project or pack for my week dog sitting.
