Or, more accurately, the ticker. According to the countdown ticker, the Olympics are just past 70% over. My shawl (at 50" now, woohoo for round numbers!) is just past 60% done, assuming I use all 10 balls of the yarn I have on hand. 6 balls (plus a couple of rows) is 50 inches, so... (damn, I hate math!)...about 8.33 inches per ball of yarn. I have three balls left for about another 25 inches (rounded off). Total length should then be (drumroll please) about 75 inches. A good length for draping around the shoulders nonchalantly, right?
And yes, stupid me, didn't take a picture while I had it laid out to measure and now it's back in its bowl for safekeeping. Meh. Picture on Thursday, I promise. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is no-shawl-knitting-day because it's youth group night which means wristwarmers. Funny, I was tired of wristwarmers but a little 9" thing will seem like nothing after this shawl! Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the shawl. But I'm very very tired lately and I hate to think of not finishing - and yet, after a day on the computer, my hand-bones are aching and sore after only an hour and a half of knitting. I'm worried I might not make it. Saturday will no doubt be crunch time and a major knitting day because I want to finish by Saturday night. We shall see.
Goodnight Bloglanders and Knit-Lympians - time for anti-inflammatories, Tiger balm, and bed.
