In other news, I am almost done with my sweater! I hope to have it done by the end of the upcoming week. Lucky for me, winter is showing no sign of going away, so I will have plenty of time to wear it. My metalsmithing class is going well. It can be frustrating at times when things don't come out like I want them to. I made a beautiful bowl and am working on a base. I will be doing major reconstruction on the base as it doesn't look like I want and the soldered seam keeps splitting. I should be able to fix it on Monday during open studio. The bowl was completely handshaped using hammers. My arm was very tired after two and a half hours of straight hammering. I did a lot of cleaning up of the bowl on Thursday between bouts of wanting to scream and throw the base out the window.
You can see the size of the bowl and the base in relation to my laptop. I'll repost photos of the redone bowl base.
Last night I went to Friday Night Knitting Club at Ewe'll Love It in Nashua. It was a good time. Erica's birthday is today so I baked cupcakes in her honor. My new friend Holly also came and it was really good to get to see her again. Next month's knitting club is going to be a cookie bake off. Make way for the champion ladies!!!
