My first commission!

Before Christmas I took the Wabenschal I made for Katie in to work for blocking. (I have a nice, big sewing table there, perfect for pinning.) After I blocked it I was bringing it back to my shop to wrap it up and I stopped to show it off to my co-workers. One of them particularly liked it and asked how much I would want to make another.

Fast forward a few weeks: today he brings it up again and asks specifically if I could have another ready by the end of February for his wife's birthday. I name my price and we have a deal. How cool is that! Now I've got to get started. This will be an interesting experiment, I think. I wonder how I will feel about knitting that isn't for me or a gift for a beloved recipient of my choosing.
