Behind
I'm behind on my blog reading. I'm behind on my email, I'm behind on phone calls, and even more behind than usual on my housework. I'm behind on my blogging, but I don't have anything new to blog about.
But I'm ahead of schedule on the Shetland Shawl.
Way ahead. 10 days ahead. It should be done in plenty of time.
And not a minute too soon, I want to work on something different. Even endless miles of stockinette would look good at this point.
I do occasionally do something other than work on the shawl. Like work on a sock.
Baudelaire number one, done.
Another project planned for the future is some quilting. I'm not normally a quilter, but while we were in Hawaii, I fell in love with the gorgeous Hawaiian quilts I saw. The one I really loved was a big enough for a queen size bed, but I thought that might be a bit ambitious, so I settled for two tiny little ones to start with.
One is a turtle, and one is a traditional symmetrical design. I'm itching to play with these!
And finally, one of my favourite people had a milestone birthday yesterday. Go wish Jussi a happy 40th!

The sock looks so pretty. You must have been knitting quite a bit to get so much done on the shawl too. Good luck with the quilts, the patterns look quite cute.

I hope you didn't just jinx yourself by saying you're way ahead on the shawl. Looks gorgeous, by the way, as does the sock.
