Busyness update, and shawl moan
Life continues busy. We're finding more good helpful things for Jamie - which is good, but man, it takes up a lot of my time. Two events for him this week, one next week but I think I'll try to move another one from the next week back to that, because that next week there will be three... etc.
On the frustrating side - I have a problem in the lace shawl, in the new pattern I've gotten to. It looks like I'm going to have to tink back about 4 rows to fix it. That's just over 2400 stitches. Gah. This new lace pattern is more complicated than the old - it may not work anymore for "found time" - knitting in the car, while talking to Karl, while waiting for the kids in Sunday school, etc. It may require dedicated time, which is a lot harder to get these days. Sigh, this is how things become UFOs stuffed into closets. I don't want that to happen.
And I need to get together another project that I *can* use for found time - because I'm happier and more content the more I am creating. Maybe I can get upstairs tonight and cut the squares out from the green fabrics and get them into ziplocks and start carrying them about with the tools and work on patchwork.
