Tithe

Finishing. I hate it. However, Tithe is almost complete. One half is sewn up and you know I tried her on. A little on the short side, but I have enough left over to pick up around the bottom and add a few rows.

I used Soak before assembling (Aquae... mmmm), and the plan was to block the pieces. Wow - I hate blocking! Maybe if I had a good surface (maybe a blocking board), had a bit more patience and better pins, and maybe if I wasn't in the midst of PMS... but none of those conditions being met, I said "fuck it" to blocking and threw the pieces in the dryer. Yeah, you heard me. On low with a Downy drier sheet. The result was: not much shrinkage (really!) and s-o-f-t!

I think I might be able to wear this puppy to work on Wednesday! :)
