OK, so I left the knitted prototype object in the washer for the rinse cycle, seeing as the damage had already been done (and I am too lazy to rinse it by hand). When I went to move everything to the dryer, I decided not to make matters any worse and to dry the woolen thing out in the blazing sunlight we have today.

While pulling around on it to get it into a pleasing shape (also known as blocking), I realized the oops wasn’t as bad as it had first seemed. In fact … I love it, and I can’t wait to show it off! Though I will admit to some trepidation about showing it off publicly on my blog, because I think I might want to make some of these to sell (and maybe even sell a pattern for it at some point). I do hate to have my brilliant ideas stolen before I get to benefit from them, and while I hate to brag, I do think this idea is somewhat awesome.

Oh, you know I won’t be able to resist showing it off eventually, but maybe I’ll wait until I have a few ready for sale before I do … if I can resist for that long. :lol:
