Well, we did it! We all took Matt to his new school, and we all managed to leave each other with hugs and no tears. Although some of those might have come in the car.... a little bit. So that's done, and less painfully than I imagined.
On a positive note, I've had a sneak peek of the photo of my design that is due to be published in The Knitter magazine Issue 37 (36 is JUST out, so only 1 more month to go). I'm not allowed to show you yet, but.... squee!
I've managed to get 5 design submissions prepared in time for the deadline, and posted them today, so fingers crossed. There's one design that I have mixed feelings about - I LOVE the swatch, and the design, I just have concerns about whether I can get sizing right for an actual garment - especially when it comes to putting sleeves in well. But I'm pretty chuffed that I've managed to get myself together to do it over the holidays with all the boys around.
In other design news, a new magazine due to launch in the UK in October, Knit Now, asked in Ravelry for submissions with a pretty short deadline. I submitted 2 ideas - and heard yesterday that they have both been accepted. Woot!
So maybe I am a designer. As long as the finished accessories look the way that I expected that is!
Anyway, my fledgling career is off to a pretty good start! 4 out of 4 so far.
The twins go back to school on Monday (last year of primary school ALREADY! Whut???). So that will leave me with much more knitting and thinking time :)
Can't show you any pictures of unpublished designs, so will have to leave you photo-less for the time being. Speak soon xx
