Dad's sweater is done!

Well, it's all knitted, anyway. Sat down tonight with the last 1/3 of the 2nd sleeve and watched Star Wars Episode III: You wasted your money again. Except I saw it free on TMNOD, so neener. Movie was crap but just long enough (2 1/2 hours) to finish the sweater. Exactly, actually, I cast off the last Sith... er stitch - just as the final credits came up. So woohoo!

Which means now that I have to sew the darn thing up - the least-fun part of knitting (IMO). I think I'll reserve that particular segment of cussing and squinting for Sunday afternoon, since I'll be spending Friday afternoon on bookkeeping, Saturday afternoon on homework, and Friday/Saturday night sleeping - a lot. I've been very very tired again for oh, about a month, and finally saw the doc about it, who ordered the usual blood tests, etc. It's probably just the heat and usual early-June work stress, but it's smart to get things checked out.

So now the sweater is done(ish), there's just that dang orange sock to finish (gods, it's taking FOREVER and makes my hands cramp). Then I can do fun things and charity things and more socks and those teddy bears for the impending twins. Gak. The twins are due any day now, but unlike the Harlot, I will not begin the knitting until they actually arrive safe and sound. Besides, you can't really appreciate a teddy bear until you're at least 6 months old, I think.

Tiger balm and bed. Goodnight bloglanders.
