I got a comment last night regarding my bamboo issues from a young lady who made a cardi out of bamboo. She was very reassuring and I am truly grateful.
Go here and scroll down a little bit. You're looking for a purple cardi.
If you scroll down more, you can read about how she had to block the cardi every step of the way.
Suddenly, I am very glad that I'm only making a wrap. Although, I'm already starting to wonder where I'll lay it out to block and dry. I have more wood floors than carpet.
While I won't be good enough to do a cardi like that anytime soon, I do feel inspired by JoFrog and I think that's the key. Btw, look at the totally cute kitty she made on her front page. Yeah, you need to scroll down again. Think of it as exercise.
No... really.
You could lay some towels out on the floor and pin the wrap down on those. Then you can have fun keeping kitty off it. ;)
Or put towels on the bed. How big is this wrap anyway? *L*

Yes, and that would be fun. o.0
I'm thinking over six feet long/tall/something. That's before pinning/blocking/whatever.

Wow..that person's blog was very intimidating to me..hiding my picture of hats and stuff behind me.
Very cool stuff...I need to go back and really snoop at that stuff.

I know! I'm over here making 2by2 rib socks and fighting with Cozy and she's making such wonderful things.
However, knitting is about the journey and what we each get out of it. If it was a contest, I think I'd have given up by now. *L*

heh, my journey sometimes feels like I am traveling down a rutted dirt road but by golly the scenery is terrific!

As long as you remember to update with your location occasionally. ;^)
