Things are looking up. The "mystery designer" liked the work I did for her, and while I still have half a sleeve left to do, she said that once I finish that, she'll sew the pieces together herself. Which is fabulous, since I really want to get back to my own design and that will save me a lot of time. She stopped by the knitting group at Starbucks tonight, and I had a nice time talking with her. I like learning about knit designer's backgrounds - it seems like most didn't start out in fashion, which makes me feel good, since I'm rather fashion-phobic.
She also saw my Charleston hat & scarf, and was shocked that Knitty didn't accept the design. That was a nice ego boost!
I made myself a schedule for all the knitting I need to do by Christmas. I'm not sure if it's going to work. But I'm trying to have faith. There may be some late nights in my near future!
Hi Alison! It was wonderful to see you again. :) And the fix on the sleeve was fantastic.
