Goal!
Guess what I got yesterday?
I got my goal keyring at Weight Watchers! That means I've reached my goal weight. I was pretty excited about it yesterday. Today I have a cold, and I'm feeling pretty miserable with it, so not so much.
But hip hooray!!
In knitting news I'm halfway through the second border of the Shetland Shawl. 46 rows down, 44 to go. I figured out yesterday morning that if I did just 5 rows a day, I could have this border done in 9 days.
Then the cold started to seep in, and by last night I just couldn't be bothered and went to bed early, so I'm already behind on that goal.
I have been working on the Angora Supreme Sweater though.
Head removed due to aforementioned cold.
The body is done, and I'm up to the armholes. Now I get to knit the sleeves. Usually I knit both sleeves at the same time, but these are in the round. So I can either knit them one at a time, or bite the bullet and try to relearn two at once on two circs. I'm undecided so far, the one time I tried two at once on two circs, I just didn't like it.
A bland weekend ahead. The weather has been ridiculously cold, and Harry Potter of course comes out tomorrow, so there'll be mock fights over it. David has agreed to let Em read it first, but he won't let her know that, just to antagonise her. Then he'll be nagging her to read it more quickly so that he can read it.
I wish they'd just get two copies!!

Posted by: chris at July 20, 2007 10:27 PMGreat work to reach your goal weight see all that knitting really is exercise. Cant wait to see the next boarder for the shawl ready to go on the main body of it.
Careful of the flu its been taking everyone by surprise but for me it was laryngitis.

Posted by: monica at July 21, 2007 03:50 AMCongrats on reaching your goal!
If you don't like the two at once on two circs, you won't want to work on them and it will take twice as long to get them done. Then again, you might find out that it isn't as bad as you remember it being. I'm so helpful :)
Hope the cold goes away quickly.
Posted by: Restless Knitter at July 21, 2007 04:03 AMCongratulations on reaching your goal weight. The cold does stink, though. Hope you feel better soon.
I tried the so many rows a day once on an afghan I made my niece. It works, I think I need to use it on the MS3 as I haven't started clue 2 yet.
The sweater in progress looks great, it is such a pretty color.
