Silence = Knitting
While some people manage to produce long voluminous posts and generate yards and yards of knitting in a seemingly effortless fashion, others of us have to stop typing long enough to get in a few stitches from time to time. And while progress has been made, it has been very little progress these last couple of days.
Still, despite the fact that the ticking time counter of death (located on the yarn harlot’s side bar) proclaims loudly and mockingly that I have a mere 3 days, 2 hours, 38 minutes and 23 seconds to complete my project, I am mostly undaunted. Despite the fact that I still have to complete the heel flap, gusset and entire foot of the second slipper, I will not fear. Despite the fact that I still have not figured out exactly how I am going to tackle the pointy toe, my mind is sharp and alert. Oh, and then there is the whole need to felt the project… Okay. So, realistic assessment — there is a lot to be done. Can it be done? Yes, I believe it can. We have enough leftovers in the house so that I don’t have to do any cooking for the next couple of days and I have all weekend, right? Right.
So, if things are quiet around here for the next couple of days, well, you’ll know why. But if you don’t hear from me in a few days, you might want to send out a search party, because I may be hopelessly caught up in a yarn tangle of massive proportions, stuck on my couch, unable to reach the refrigerator and starving slowly to death…

I feel your pain, team-matey! I was doing so well, totally on target and feeling groovy–and then last night, all of a sudden, it seemed like I was WAY behind. But the boy is out tonight, so it’s me, the knitting, and a TiVO full of the embarrassing girly shows he makes me watch by myself.
How ’bout that ladies’ figureskating finale, huh? I stayed up to the end, totally pulling for Slutskaya. Oh, well…I can’t begrudge the elegant Arakawa her triumph. She did skate beautifully.

Yeah, Arakawa was amazing. I was really glad I made it to the end as well.
My sweetie is also out tonight, but I have nothing so exciting as a TiVO full of girly shows — for me it is just more Olympic coverage. I’ll be both sad and relieved when its all over.
