Dh did get home in time for me to go to Mama’s last night. I got the strips in place and the edging started. That blanket is huge. I can’t even spread it out completely in her living room!!

I took off from knitting completely yesterday, trying to rest my hand/wrist. I’ll be back on the karaoke today, though. I have 18 inches done on the body, heading toward 25 plus edging. Then it’s just the sleeves. I will have to hold off on the second sleeve though, so I can show the pick-up technique in class. At this point, I plan to work only on it, but we’ll see how it goes, with my arm. I am really hoping it has more to do with this particular needle size, 7, than the actual knitting.

Good news: with no knitting, I did *alot* of crocheting, didn’t I? (Check the sidebar for the answer to today’s trivia question!)

One final thing–I did update the stash page last night. Even with the acquisitions, I still shrunk my stash this week
