My pulse is racing, heart is pounding… why you may ask?
I just washed a hand knit garment for the first time.

It doesn’t sound scary…but I made this pouch:

… for a dear friend’s bridal shower this weekend. If something goes wrong in the wash…no gift and I become sad because it was so pretty.

I followed the Knitter’s Review instructions and used my Suave shampoo after hearing that Woolite tends to be too harsh. The water ran clear and it is now resting gently on a super absorbent towel from Target.

Hopefully in a couple of hours it will look splendid and I can relax…
…until then I will be on Ravelry working.
