to pull it all together, the seams have to be right.
lace can be challenging, but once i figured out the best techniques,
it all fell into place in a great big ‘ta da!’ moment
(with a sigh of relief and a thankful smile).

i was only gone for a minute.
just long enough to blow my nose and
wash the sick germs off of my hands. then i was back
to find my youngest’s train set ambulance
being driven by a cocky looking blond brio man.
he seemed to have been
considering a little off roading while eyeing the ‘field of lace’
that is currently pinned to the blocking board.
it appears that after revving the engine and hitting the gas,
he got his tire hung up at the last moment
on a t-pin
(whew, that was close)
before he was able to leave even one
skid mark across all that work done up in the silky ‘magnolia’
which is so close to being the first finished piece
of ‘artistic differences’ at this point.
how thankful am i
for such a well placed
blocking pin? so thankful!
math tamed: check.
swatches done: check.
wet blocking complete: check.
pinning it up to get a better look: check.
the magnolia becoming wearable: to be continued…

even with 2 pencils in play
there was so much tip breaking and wearing down points
that i eventually resorted to a trusty pen.
still, it went something like this:
*write, reconsider, scratch it out; rep from * until your very last nerve is frazzled.
then wait and
…hold on!
time for a time out.
i find a break almost always helps,
or at least it gives me the perspective to cut my losses and move on.
in this case, it gave me the ‘ah ha’ moment that i’d been missing.
whew.
that one was a little too close for comfort
but, all’s well now. on to the re-swatching and the actual casting on.
