That’s what Lettie said, and I had to comply! Bad puns abound in our household. 
Row 226 and Chart D complete. Using my crack math skills (or should I say, my math on crack!), I figure that around Row 260 of 367, I will be at the ~50% mark area-wise. There is something so wrong about that! I feel better deluding myself with row counts and not square inches :). But I must be at least 1/3 done…The picture isn’t great or artistic, but the green is pretty close to accurate.
This is a fun shawl to knit and I attribute it to lack of repetitive patterning. The squares along the sides repeat, but not noticeably and the internal patterns have a rhythm, but the shawl in its entirety does not feel repetitive. It certainly is not mindless, and I prefer that for my at-home knitting. My mindless, take-along knitting is not progressing very well because I do not have much time to work on it. Monogamy assures faster results, that’s for sure!
Rudee “accused” me 😉 of not being completely honest about my “stay-cations,” citing Sally’s and my recent trip to NYC. I agree and disagree: did you notice who was missing on that trip? My family peeps! I go on trips with Surly, but my family and I never go anywhere! Our family vacations are non-existent :(.
The weather here is downright b-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. Last year it was in the 90’s and now it’s barely making it to 60.
That means it’s great knitting weather!

Are you masochistic? That would be like me saying Meg Swansen’s Weeping Sun/Moon or Kaffe Fasset’s Chintz was “fun”! Give me repeats!

Susan- The weather has been weird here as well. I figure I’ll just permanently zip myself
into a snowsuit and be done with it.
