I'm just going to say it. Weaving in ends is the bain of my existence. I like the knitting part, even when it can be
excruciatingly painful, but gah, weaving in ends is just so... so... I don't even have the adjective to tell you how much I don't enjoy it.
We started here:
I wove in the blues:
Then I wove in the greens:
And finally the oranges:
THEN- I had a
G I G A N T I C glass of wine. GIGANTIC. (Waiting to do whites last, a) for my sanity and b) because it might come in handy to tack other parts on after.)
I also knit most of the fiddly parts. (Anyone know how pom poms wash in a washing machine?
ANNE... looking at your knowledge on this particularly.)
Next up is blocking the blanket and pieces, which will happen this Sunday or Monday. And then... THEN, OMG- more sewing and likely more ends to weave in. *enormous sigh*
BUT, trying to look on the positive side, we're close. SO. CLOSE. It's going to happen for Stampede. It is. So I guess, memo to self, enter that this week.
Oh yah... since I'm down a blocking board until late this weekend, I also knit June's hat... kinda cute huh? (Also half way through July's hat too- woo!)
It's going to be a big party when this baby is considered "FINISHED"- we will celebrate. I promise you that.

Hmmm, wouldn't trust pompoms in the wash! Good luck! Looks good. Anne
Poms are awful in the wash. Don't do it.
