Time Served: 06-06-09 - 06-10-09

Mods: Changed/fixed the cast on and first few rows. Knit the first chart once. Knit rows 19-42 three times. Knit rows 19-34 once.
Judgment: Never again. Knitting this shawl killed my knitting mojo.
Knit for: Me. This was a Joan project that Angie, Squish, Nora and I joined in on because Joan was generous and fabulous enough to send us patterns and yarn. We are truly spoiled.
I am glad that I went back and redid this one. I use this shawl in place of a bathrobe/dressing gown in the mornings during cool/cold weather. It's wonderful to pull around me and think about the ladies I knit this with.
Because it's not a finished object post about a shawl unless you get it to see it nailed to a fence.
Speaking of mojo...
I have found my spinning mojo after several very frustrating days in which I could not get the spindle or fiber to work with me. For reasons I'd rather not think about, I always do really well spinning while watching Harper's Island.
(Speaking of Harper's Island... !!!)
Now if I could just find my knitting mojo...
Although, some yarn arrived yesterday that may help in the search.
Or kill me.
Only time will tell.
Happy Sunday, people!
