Today was a good day: I got to knitting group by 3 pm!! That is 2-4 hours early. Does that mean I left for home 2-4 hours early? Au contraire, mes amies!! I stayed, knitting and cavorting, until 7:30. I do love them peeps o’mine. Woo Hoo!
Lyra Alert:
I am hoping that this will not jinx it, but I am over half way done with the bind off row of Lyra. I am giddy with excitement and anticipation.
 I’ll need to buy a barrel full of pins for blocking, but get me a fork, cuz by this weekend she will be done. 
Â
The bind off involves crocheting chains between groups of sts — NOT my forte. I do not have an affinity for crochet. I feel awkward holding the needle hook, and even the yarn feels unnatural in my hands. But, I am progressing slowly and steadily. Pictures of the blob and the blocked blob to follow…
I can’t wait to see Lyra in all her finished glory.

I can’t wait. Why don’t you stay home from work and finish the bind off?

Congratulations on the almost doneness of your Lyra. Can’t wait for the
pictures.

From Susan – ::cough::cough:: I feel a little something coming on! Actually, as the “boss” I feel obligated to set a good example and show up!

Susan- Since you’re doing some Blob pictures, can you throw in a little
Steve McQueen with it?

Yipppeee!!! It does take a gazillion pins, and a lot of patience to block Lyra — but it’s the home stretch! WooHoo!
