So...after being 2/3 of the way through my football "weekend" knitting, I'm a little overwhelmed. I got 48 rows done on the Mapghan and there are 337 rows in each panel. The boys did the math for me...each panel consists of 27,971 stitches...which means for all four panels, I'm at 111,884 stitches! THAT'S A LOT...holy crap.
I've gotta walk myself through some more math here, so bear with me. I'll probably finish another 10-15 rows tonight, so let's round and say I finish 60 rows for every four games I watch (though I didn't knit straight through on Sunday, and probably could have finished more rows). Anyway....60 rows for four games...337 rows for one panel. It's going to take me 22 games to finish one panel. I don't have that much time, so I'm going to have to buck up and really start knitting like a maniac on football days.
*BIG SIGH*

Took a little downtime...
This week I finished the striped afghan for Suzi and then took two days where I didn't touch my needles...HOLY CRAP that was hard! Thanks to the Football KAL for making me wait until game time to cast on the Map-ghan. I'm super excited about this project...I just hope I can finish it on time. I'm not going to count my yarn-winding as knitting time, though, so I'll be able to do some of that tonight.
SPEAKING OF WHICH! So I used a yarn-winder for the first time ever last night and it was officially one of the most fun things I've ever done. Not really, but it was pretty awesome. How bad would that be if the highlight of my life was a yarn-winder...which is not to say that yarn and notions are not allowed to rank up there, but yeah...
My chocolate is sending me messages. Sounds funny, I know, but check this out:
See what I mean?!?!!?
A variety of interpretations here...but who's to say it doesn't mean giving in to knitting my KAL project on non-game days....is it Sunday yet?
In the meantime...in the world of WW this week does not exist. I "x" it. :) Good to be able to do that every now and then. Back on plan next week. I hit my 20lbs last week and it felt GOOD!
And back to life as we know it...ah, cubedom, how we love thee!
