You just have to love it when a plan comes together. When the idea becomes a rough sketch. When a rough sketch becomes a trip to the LYS and you find the perfect combination of yarns.
When your swatch actually looks and measures up the way you thought it would.
And then you cast on, tentative a first, but then moving ahead with the excitement of seeing your idea come to life in front of you.
Notepad beside you, correcting, adding, rewriting the pattern you have created to match what is coming off your needles. Sometimes frogging your piece, or ripping out and starting all over again.
And finally, you can adore your creation as it sits on the blocking foam. Looking even better than you ever imagined.
It is truly an amazing story, I only wish I could post the photo's to go along with my notes, but alas we will all have to wait.
For now the piece begins its real journey, through the hands of the editorial staff at an industry magazine, photo's pinned up to the board, hopefully still up there as they remove those that do not make the final cut. Checking email daily for word that it has been accepted, the anticipation, hopefully followed by the excitement of a positive response. But for now we wait! and wait! and wait!
