{sigh} The Life of Job

I'm feeling like I'm living the life of Job in the Bible. Rob being hit by a car and recovery will be 6 to 12 weeks. Even then...how far will he recover? All the way? In the meantime, I finished the Pi shawl. Forget about EZ's border. I'm finding out that very few people do the border suggested for the Pi shawl in the Knitting Almanac. It's confusing and missing something in the translation. Much of EZ's work is leaving the assumption that the reader understands. I don't. Clarese showed me a simple crocheted chain border that works just fine and I was able to finish it off in about an hour and a half. It still needs to be blocked out, but where? I don't have the floor space. It will probably have to be our bed. I'm anxious to see it blocked. I still have my socks I can work on and a couple of sweaters out on needles. There's a pretty dropped stitch shawl also that needs to be finished. I still have enough to do. Time. I'm back to work now and there's no time at home to do everything. Rob's home being bored. Poor fellow. He wants to work, but has no attention span to sit in front of a laptop all day. 2009 was a lousy year. I was really hoping 2010 would be better.

Confession

They say confession is good for the soul. Well, I ripped out the entire Pi Shawl and started over. THIS TIME...I used my lifeline and tied them off! Already, I had to rip back 20 rows because of a mistake. This time a lifeline saved me. The Pi shawl sure doesn't look like much while making it. It's kind of a blue blob of lace yarn. I'm somewhere on row 73. Patience...patience...patience.

Saved without a Life Line

My life lines came undone. (Note: Tie them next time!) Athena managed to get me back on track. I'm going to double check it and put in another life line. Guess all this sounds strange unless you knew I was talking about the Pi Shawl. (Hee Hee)
