Yes, after four or five days of knitting on my three-cornered shawl all I have to show is a border.  In my defense there are around 550 stitches on the needles and, while the pattern is fairly easy to memorize, I do have to watch what I’m doing.  Needless to say this is not a good computer project.  It sure is pretty though.  And this yarn (Helen’s Lace) is so soft and shiny and the colors are so rich and pretty that I really don’t mind sitting for a couple hours and knitting a couple rows with no distractions.

It has rained all week, it’s been cool and dark and cloudy, typical Missouri springtime.  Last weekend was hot and sunny, so I bought a bag of lemons to make lemonade, which I thought would be good in the warm sunny weather.  Jokes on me, I guess.  The lemonade is really good, though.

I’ve been dealing with the crappy weather by playing the Active Life Outdoor Challenge game for the Wii and doing large amounts of yoga and knitting, but that’s a given.  Today I cleaned my bedroom from top to bottom and moved all my things back (I never really finished moving back into my room after I painted in January).  I have so many other things I need to do but this weather makes me want to sleep all the time, I really have to force myself to get up and do stuff.  The upside of all the yoga I’ve been doing is that my arm and leg muscles are getting huge and I feel a lot stronger on top of not as stiff and sore.  Good stuff.
