On my way to the masters Tuesday.......

I now have 6 swatches completed - however, I'm having blocking issues. I tried wet blocking and pinning them and just could NOT get the darn stockinette curl out of them. So, we tried steaming them.......so, that may not have been the best choice because that made the stitches too flat! And that is a big no-no - can't send in swatches with flat stitches. So I dunked them in the water to fluff them up again and wet block them again but..............they ain't coming back from flatland! So, I'm probably going to have to re-knit them. This would be swatches #2, #4 and #5 so it's not too bad.

I was going to post pictures but seeing as how I'm going to be reknitting - I didn't really see the point. If you are desperate to see them though you can look HERE as I put them on Flickr. I'll post a better photo show on this next week. I have completed a lot of the questions and gotten my notebook all set up and ready to go though. I should be able to finish the redo's in a day or two. So, that's where I am with that.

As far as the contest goes - I have had a BUNCH of enteries!!! I think 47 stories all together so far. Some of these things are just downright hilarious! It is going to be difficult to decide a winner! We will be posting all of them on the website (no names) for everyone's entertainment after the contest.

You STILL have time to enter! You have until midnight tomorrow night (Knit Witch EST) so get moving! After that I'll be 35 and too old to care.
