Almost Done?*

June 23, 2011 By Mindy

23 Jun

I ran out of yarn before I could bind off my Haruni.  I was able to finish all of the knitting but did not have enough yarn to bind off. 

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I looked and looked all over for the same yarn but couldn't find any, not even scraps.

On a Saturday morning, shortly after putting Haruni aside, I walked into work.  There, hanging from the wall, was a new order of Pagewood Farm Denali IN THE COLOR I NEEDED!!  I ran over and grabbed that skein and bought it before a customer could walk in the door.  There are perks to working in a yarn store you know.

I completed the bind off, and the shawl is ready for blocking.

When the kids are napping this afternoon, I'll be busy with my blocking wires and pins.

*When Liam is feeling anxious, he will say, "All done, all done, all done!"  Sometimes when things don't finish when he wants, he will ask "Almost done?"
