purpleponyart | FIBRE451--Project #2 WIP

Project 2, with the theme of "homebody" is taking more time than I thought. Not only do I have to measure and knit the pieces on my knitting machine, but there are extra activities like washing and blocking the pieces before sewing them onto the boxes. Washing and blocking is a great way to help the fabric maintain shape (or nudge stitches into place) and let's face it--oil from our hands gets on the piece as it is worked. So a piece that may take an hour to machine knit has at least another couple of hours to wash and dry.

I also thought by now I wouldn't have homework piling up around the house--but it is, literally, in our dining area. All the knit pieces are done--I just have to glue, assembly, make the face and more for final crit on April 14th.
