Shawl progress

I have had a more productive day than usual - starting with sitting outside with the kids while they played and I knit. I have finished two rows on the shawl today.

That means I'm now 59.8% done. There are 626 stitches per row, and I have done 48,926 stitches so far.

The Yarn Harlot recently had a post about losing time on a big shawl - this sort of thing is why I had Karl set up the Excel file for me - so I can still feel that yes, I *am* making progress. Really!

Oh, speaking of her, bkseiver, did you see her post on the one-row scarf pattern? It looks more complex than a one-row, I think. Made me think of the sort of work you were doing for your church.

Filk-related quote

While poking through Pratchett looking for a quote today, I found this one, which I think pretty well summarizes me at a filk:

Lancre's only other singer of note was Nanny Ogg, whose attitude to songs was purely ballistic. You just pointed your voice at the end of the verse and went for it.
