Bouncing Around like a Headless Chook
Posted by: Diane in Finished Objects, General, Patterns, Weekends are for SpinningAs we would (might) say down under.
Last summer I worked on a BIG project, but didn’t tell many people about it as I was 1) not really supposed to, and 2) really really afraid that fate would turn around and bite me on the butt. Gradually, there was movement. I finished, sent it off, waited some more… still didn’t say anything.
Then the preorder page for the book (a book!) appeared on Amazon, but I know all about fate and I didn’t want to bounce around just yet and then discover that actually, I’m not in this one - maybe next time…
Then on Friday I got a cheque in the post - a pretty good sign I thought - and then today I thought to look again aaaaaaand
You can actually look inside on Amazon and my name is right there in the table of contents :-D I’m on page 32 (which is also my age - coincidence?) and you can see a pic of my shawl on the facing page as well.
To celebrate, I’m taking the rest of the afternoon off!

I’m bouncing up and down right along with you! I remember the “Secret project” (OK I remember knowing something was going on and sulking that I wasn’t allowed to know what, turns out my guess at the time was right) and I am just so proud of you. Does this mean I officially know someone famous?

That is so exciting! Congratulations. You truly deserve a huge celebration.

That is very very cool! You’re definitely entitled to run around like a headless chook for quite some time on that one :)

I may not be ready for a shawl like that yet, but it looks great. I do remember bouncing you around when you where a lot younger. Nice to see it continues. Great work!!!!!!
