In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.

Ravelympics Update 2

So, as of midnight on Friday, I was here:

8-9-08 1214AM

That’s 19 motifs completed out of 82, with ends all woven in.

As of a few minutes ago, I am here:

8-10-08 1106AM

30 motifs complete, so about 35%. And you will notice, no dangly ends. I decided after weaving in all the ends on Friday night that it was WAAAAAY less annoying to weave them in as I go, so, I complete a motif and weave in the ends before moving on.

It’s definitely coming along, although not quite as fast as it did on Friday because I’ve actually had a few things to do. Well, that, and I had to let my hand un-cramp from Friday. I may have pushed it a little bit. :D   Still enjoying it, and I think it’s going to be so pretty when it’s done.  I’m VERY happy with the colors that Kris helped me pick, and it will be nice to have something that’s not blue or green, since those tend to be my default colors when I plan shawls.

Today is the semi-finals for our trivia team, so think smart thoughts at me around 4 this afternoon.  If we move on, we have a chance to win actual cash.  :D

    Nice work! I had to take it easy today as well. Too much knitting on Friday and Saturday left my hands a little numb :-(

    Woo hoo! Coming along very nicely. Don’t over-do it since you want to save some of that energy for the sprint at the end.
