Knit-Lympics Wednesday

Yes, I was smart and stayed home sick today. Sleep is good, quality couch-time is good. Only spent about 3 hours knitting but am making good progress on the shawl:

It's over 2 feet long now, actually covers a whole arm-length, and I'm well into ball #4 of 10. It's hard to tell from these pictures, but it's really very pretty. Still nervous about the whole blocking process, but I've got a week or so before I need to worry about that, I think. That's really about it for today.

The hardest part of this (other than remembering to mark off rows as I finish them) is not hopping from project to project - what the Harlot calls "knitting monogamy". I guess I'm a knitting bigamist then, because I have been working on socks for me, but only at lunchtime at work. Home knitting is all shawl, all the time, even though my poor neglected sweater is sitting there waiting patiently to be finished. Soon, it will be soon.

Happy Wednesday, Knit-Lympians and Bloglanders. Time for bed.
