Charity Case

I just finished the wreath to turn in for the United Way auction. The deadline is tomorrow and I had to really hustle. This was the single most annoying project I've ever worked on. Getting the wires in the flowers after felting was sheer torture. Trying to get the damn things arranged nicely on the wire wreath frame was nigh on impossible.
I think it's ugly and am frankly embarrassed to turn it in, but it would look worse to flake. I should have crocheted a baby blanket as per my first instinct. Oh well, at least my official performance reviews will be based on the geology, not the extracurricular knitting.

On a completely unrelated note, I have decided I need to work on devising a new pattern over the weekend. This time we're going siliceous and let's just say it is bound to be totally rad.
