I actually stuck to the schedule I gave myself! Huh, if only I could be this dilligent when it comes to school…
The front and back are blocking. Next step: join them at shoulders and then pick up stitches for sleeves. I used to be scared of picking up stitches, but after I tried it a few times I realized it’s a piece of cake! :) As for blocking, I’m trying to be creative with my limited resources. Good thing I have a spongy armchair that has served me well as a blocking board… :)
p.s. The light is terrible, I know. It’s miserable outside and my window faces West anyway… :/

Well I’m still afraid of picking up stitches. If I can persuade/bribe/bully Lily I will totally do it! :D
Actually, the great thing about picking up stitches is that “unravelling” is really easy: since you’re doing it with a new skein, you can just pull it out and it doesn’t affect the previous work at all. So you can keep on trying until it’s perfect. :)
Don’t be affraid, it’s only the first time, but if you help yourself to make a sign all arround with a needle and sewing floss, it will come out perfectly. A big kiss. Loredana
vidim da si se snasla za blocking. nije ni ova stolica losa za to
I use our ironing board for things like this. The sofa might be a better place, now that you’ve got me thinking furniture.
Hmm, that’s interesting. What’s the board made of? My pins are weaklings so the surface can’t be too hard… Actually, this spongy armchair really is perfect, except for the size…
