So many secret projects, I’ve got to number them.
In the 4-5 years I’ve been reading knitting/craft blogs, it gets super annoying when the author doesn’t update the site. Of course, this is only second to, “I’ve been working on ultra-cool project X for the past three weeks and I can’t show you any of it.” The only remedy is to show a picture of a portion of the craft taken out of context.
There are any number of reasons why a project may be secretive. The best reason is because it will be gift, and the crafter doesn’t want to spoil the surprise. The other reason is because the recipe/pattern has been submitted for publishing to a site that has a strict secretive content provision.
On my site, the only way you’ll see 100% of a non-given gift, is if I’m 100% sure the recipient isn’t on the internet, AKA Grandma Shirley or Grandpa Dave. That’s it really. SOOOO….If you are a friend and/or relative trolling for gifts, you can be sure this site is safe for you to view. If you are a craft publisher (haha), I’ve got an entire backlog I’m holding back.
That being said, let’s move on to Secret Gift 2007 #2!
another view
Secret Gift 2007 #2 is 100% wool creweling on fuzzy ribbed and felted base of 40% silk and 60% wool. Still looking for the perfect device to transfer patterns with. So far, taylor’s chalk is supplying straight lines that only last for a day. Otherwise, I hate to say it, but I use fine-tipped sharpie on dark mediums like this.
