finishing days
Mar 7th, 2010 by kennita
We had our first finishing days last month at Wildflower.
I originally planned to have a finishing day when I realized how many sweaters I, myself, had piling up in need of various stages of “finishing”. This is very unusual for me. At any given time, I don’t think I’ve ever had over a couple waiting to be blocked, trimmed, sewn together and suddenly I had 6! I think I know how it happened. I have a growing number of designs that need to be written up, photographed and printed and I think- not entirely on a subconscious level- I was not allowing any more to be added to the list until I felt a little more “caught up” with the pattern writing. Sound familiar? I think it’s not unlike comments I hear in the shop: “oh, I couldn’t possibly start another project…”

But the truth is, I can’t “not” start new projects. I can’t “not” think up new designs. So we will be having 2 finishing days a month from now on- the second and third Saturdays of every month will be designated to getting projects done. Here are a few pics from the February days:

March finishing days will be the 13th and the 20th from 11am to 4pm. With a little luck we might get these done in time for the fashion show on the 21st!
Oh lucky you that you have such a problem….too many sweaters to finish. Sorry that I missed the party on Saturday. I took a nap since I was worn out from my trip to Lawrence and lack of sleep. BTW I brought home a handsome long hair orange tabby named Lewis Lee. He’s about 7 months old.
