Lightening Strikes Twice
Several months ago I answered a call for submissions from Interweave Press. A few weeks later, I got an email from Lisa telling me my submission had been chosen for the Holiday Gifts issue. Fun!
The submission was for a small project, but the instructions were fairly complicated and I obsessed with getting them both clear and correct. I knitted and felted the samples and then, because the design incorporated a large bead, began the search for the perfect bead. Before I knew it, the mailing deadline was upon me and I still had no beads. A canvassing of the local beads shops turned up nothing.
Enter my lampworking friend.
I brought the finished pouches to her house one evening and by the next day she had made all the beads I needed. And, talk about a custom job, each was designed specifically to match each pouch.
Just perfect.
The magazine came out a few weeks ago and Interweave made them look lovely and whimsical.
Unfortunately, I don’t get to keep the samples. But my friend made me a few extra beads. I just need to find some time to knit up some more of the pouches. Got any to spare?
