I have been working on the BOAF ladies of the seasons and, in order to make sure I actually do all four, I've been working on my least favortie, L'Otomne. I am alway meticulous about keeping my material and hands clean as I work, so I don't need to wash the project when finished.
Apparently, at the last meet, some swimmer stepped on my bag and ground some dirt or spilled something onto my material when I was talking to someone else and left a large brown spot. Of course, I didn't even notice until I got home because it was in a section where the material was draped away from me and out of my sight. At first I thought I could clean it and very carefully used Tide stick on the area. No luck
- needed more cleaning.
Well, you know where this is going - despite my best efforts, the brown stain wouldn't come out. But even worse - the material soaked up every bit of water and soap and spread and my overdyes started running. I was about 40% done with the project and now I am about to cry.
I can say that I'll do one of the other ladies next - L'Otomne just seems to be jinxed for me!
