I know that it’s quarter of three in the morning, but I just had to share that I have finished the shawl. I haven’t unraveled the drop stitches that will form the fringe at the end, but it’s done otherwise.
It’s long. 500 yards is a lot of yarn. 1500 feet. 18000 inches.
And it’s fuzzy. My nightgown is coated in shedded mohair. You don’t think anyone at the wedding will mind if I’m furry and shed, do you?
The wedding isn’t even until Sunday! I’m pleased. And very tired. Which helps distract me from the Mets loss tonight. Somewhat.
Suzanne, if you’re reading this, I’m going to bring it in to work to show off tomorrow. Everyone else, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for the weekend for the daylight photo shoot or the trip to Connecticut …
Disjointedly off for a shower and to join Rudi in slumber…
Congrats on finishing! Go you! 🙂 I can’t wait to see pics of it.
Did you find your purple shoes?
Comment by Jenn 10.20.06 @ 6:34 amI’m sitting at my desk, and coworkers come by and casually comment to one another “So the Mets got BOUNCED last night!” and immediately, I think of you.
I guess the promise of wet food was not enough to convince the cats to help out mentally hazing. That, or the distraction of the knitting was too much.
At least you got the shawl finished. How did you do on the laundry and packing plans?
Comment by Grey Kitten 10.20.06 @ 2:27 pmMy purple shoes remain unfound. They have picked a very good hiding spot.
The laundry got done, but how dry my jeans are will depend on the apartment’s humidity level today. It rained all night, so they weren’t terribly dry this morning…
The packing is less done. I mean, I left myself a big note reminding myself of key things not to forget — like shoes or the wedding present. But overall, I wouldn’t claim to be packed….
Comment by soe 10.20.06 @ 2:59 pmThat’s okay, as long as you have a list of what you need to bring, the actual placing of items into bags can happen in under 5 minutes. It’s probably not for the best that we both know this, but experience is a good teacher.
Comment by Grey Kitten 10.20.06 @ 4:14 pmWell, it’s not that I have a complete list. Just a list of the most important things that I’d kick myself if I forgot, like the wedding present. But I left other things off the list, like the directions….
Comment by soe 10.20.06 @ 5:08 pmI’m just now reading your entry and I’m sure you’re well on your way to a weekend of fun. The shawl is lovely in all its fuzzy glory. I can’t beleive you were up knitting that late – well, maybe I can. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you on knitting Tuesday.
