Sunday, February 19th - Knitting Olympics day 9. The shawl is now 45" in length and I am officially past the halfway point; into ball #6 by about 2/3 now. Pace is good for completion on schedule - only one non-knitting evening anticipated this week (well, I'll be knitting, but not on the shawl - I'll be teaching the girls at the youth group to knit).Next Sunday is Bundy's Gold Medal Breakfast - although the way Team Canada (Men) is playing we may not make the medal round at all! C'mon guys, you're embarrassing us here! Anyway, I hope to wear the shawl to the breakfast - if not, I'll be working on it there to get it done. What time are the closing ceremonies, again? Ah yes, 6 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes and counting. (Thank you Stephanie for adding that nerve-wracking counter!) Right. No worries. At least not today.
It's been a good weekend. Mom and Dad are back from their cruise, sunburned and well-fed and generally happy. We had a terrific dinner/movie evening with Bundy & Kid last night, including me having a total knitting geek moment whilst watching the Wallace & Gromit movie (if you've seen it, you probably had the same moment. If not, go rent it and watch for the scene in the rooftop greenhouse). And Peter actually took the whole weekend away from work. Miracle!
