Status: Unfinished
Katie: Still Pregnant, and hopefully fixing to stay that way.
Number of stitches on the needle: Approximately 850. I’m not counting those wee bastards again.
Number of skeins so far: 5 and 3/4
Number of skeins remaining: A rather comforting 4 and a quarter.
Number of rounds to knit before I start the edging: Zero! I actually should have started the edging last night, but suffered a crisis of faith in the edging I chose, and had to pick another. The one I really liked was worked close, that means that there’s lace patterning every row, and I started it, realized that it took all of my focus to do it, and was really, really slow, and imagined my future, and got promptly off the one way trip to crazyville. I chose another, but it was charted in the wrong direction, so I spend some time figuring out how to photograph the chart, flip it in my photo software, convert it into a pdf, and get it into my ipad where I can use it.
Number of foul words used while figuring that out: Approximately 346.
Number of repeats I have to work to edge the blanket: About sixty – plus whatever fancypants manoeuvre I’ll figure out to get round the corners. (I’ll have it figured by the time I get there, I think.)
Attitude of knitter: Less excellent, but I think I can fake it. (Would someone please go to the beer store?)
