Trying to stay on schedule

I have a lovely white board in my studio that currently has a schedule for prepping for Chainlink. And I'm sorta on track. :) I'm not worried, I had worked into the schedule the chance that I got sidetracked. And the only things I'm behind on are clothes for me to wear.

I am nearly done with my entry into the CGOA Design Contest. I have to rip back my morning's work on the top edging because I just don't like it. Ah, the joys of being a perfectionist. No worries, it won't take me long to get back to that point. Then I'll move on to the finishing on the back, and then all I have left to do is the Irish Crochet embellishments for the front. Nope, no pictures until after July 15th. It's not that I don't trust people, but I don't trust people. :) Once the deadline for entry has passed, I'll post pictures both here and in Ravelry.

After I finish that project (hopefully today), then I will be working on a garment design to wear to Chainlink for the Designer Meet & Greet. I've got most of the math done for it, I just had a hiccup in it last week when I was working on it and need to redo that. It should only take me a couple of days or so to work on.

Once those are done, then I'll be working on sketches and swatches to take with me. I have a ton of ideas to sketch out and put into my presentation book. I'm hoping to have a very full binder when I leave and a very empty binder when I return. :) I also have one more submission to get put together and out the door before I leave. But I've got a bit before that's due and I can likely do it as an email submission.

Now, for things I'm making for myself to wear while up there? Yeah, I've got 1 out of 3 done. But, I'm about 14 rows away from finishing the back on my sparkle top. Then it's just the straps and assembly and edgings. It might actually get done this week. The third one I've just started, but I'm hoping to get it done in a couple of weeks.

So, I might be a bit behind, but I'm doing okay. Pictures soon, at least of those things I can show. I don't know if I'm going to show my garment design or not. I might give a great closeup just in case an editor buys it off my back while I'm there! :) But the sparkle top will get an updated photo soon.

Other than that, things are going well here. We might hear this week regarding John's current job and if he'll be staying there past the temporary gig. Fingers crossed and good thoughts welcomed! Okay, back to work for me! Have a great day!
