SO MUCH CRAFTING AND CLEANING. Pretty much all I did today, though I did take a break for a short stream tonight, doing the holiday event in Final Fantasy XIV. But we're here to talk about crafting! I switched gears from mom's poinsettia because I determined there was no way to get it done before Christmas, so I'll try to finish it by our party on the 29th. Instead, today I worked on one of the wall hangings. I've got just 12 rows left, and am going to try to finish those now.
There's a lot of ends to weave in, and I've got plans to line the wall hanging with fleece (that I got on say super cheap). So I spent some time doing web searches for best practices for that. My wall hanging is just in a big box craft store brand 100% acrylic, so I'm not sure a wet block will help. Usually, I "block" acrylic by throwing it in the wash/dryer, but I'm a little worried about this one due to all the ends. I'll decide. I am definitely going to pre-wash the fabric.
I had bought some pre-cut dowels for the hangings, but the dowels are slightly too short. :( so I'm going to need to get longer dowels and cut them myself. This means that mom will likely see me walk in with a dowel, and might guess at what I'm making, which displeases me somewhat. But it can't be helped. At least she won't be able to guess what the final result looks like?
