No doubt those of you who come here for the knitting are getting a bit bored by now so I'll make it quick.

40 blocks sewn, 60 to go, 5 weeks until the wedding. I did todays blocks yesterday because today I will be very busy. The millinery wire I needed for the very last hat for my hat book arrived yesterday and I will be spending today finishing the book.

Yes, that's right. Not nearly finishing, not almost finishing, but actual 100% completely finishing!

I've finished the whole manuscript, the layout, everything but the last photo of the very last hat and the cover. Hopefully I can find my artwork for the cover that I used for the first edition so I can just tweak it, but if I flattened the layers I'll have to redo it with something totally new. That won't take long though because it will be done while my editor fixes all of my grammatical errors and overuse of the word "that". After Cartridge World bring back the toner I had refilled that didn't work because the chip was dead and my computer couldn't see it so I can print it out (you'd be amazed at how many errors you can miss looking at text on screen, and how blatantly obvious they are when you seen them in hard copy).

Anyway, I'm off to decide whether I want to sew my wire on with a contrasting wool, or the same wool I used to knit the hat. I bought the wire from a millinery supplier so it's much nicer than the stuff I bought last time from a craft shop, or the fencing wire I tried on a hat I made for my Dad (although that did work out great).

OK, time for my morning cup of tea and back to work!
