I washed the Galena sweater, thinking it would come out all wonderfully soft and delightful. It did. It also came out several sizes smaller. I re-checked the ball band from the yarn and I did wash it according to the instructions. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. I guess the 8% wool is all it takes to encourage shrinkage. On a happier note, my daughter is excited to have a new Galena sweater hanging in her closet. Oh well.
In other news...
Remember the Blooming Flower Cushion I showed you back in August? It underwent some crochet surgery and got a face lift. I was tired of finding it smooshed out of shape in the nooks and crannies of the couch, or tossed haphazardly onto the floor, so I took the back panel off, added some more petals, and crocheted a random stripe down the sides to make it into an ottoman cover. See?

Imagine a cup of coffee, a brownie and a good book added to this picture and it makes you want to dive right in for the afternoon, doesn't it?
It's like summer in January. :-)
