I'm On a Deadline Here, People
Day 1:
Go to Crafty Bastard fair in Adams Morgan with my mother-in-law. Fall in love with beautiful bright blue and green colorway of Woolarina's. Imagine it as a baby sweater. Wonder if I have enough time to knit it for the the next weekend's baby shower.* Buy the yarn. Cast on in the evening.
Days 2 through 4:
Do math. Knit. Measure. Rip. Recalculate. Knit again.
Day 5:
Finish pieces. Block.
Day 6:
Seam. Get cocky and cast on for a matching hat.
Day 7:
Attend baby shower, and give it away.
Epilogue - Day 8:
Realize that I love this yarn. Be grateful that I have another whole hank left!
*Also, realize how much I miss my knit-buddies as I struggle to make the decision without a yarn-shopping wing-(wo)man. Hope springs eternal, though -- reading Lolly's Crafty Bastard round-up shows just how great the knitting community is in the nation's capital. (But don't worry, Knitsmiths, you'll always be my first love!)
