Obligatory charity info: Today is recommitment day for Team Challenge, so please donate a couple of dollars to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation (donation link). This is the last day to decide whether or not the minimum donation amount can be raised, and to guarantee a space on the team. After this point, if you have guaranteed your space on the team you will be charged the difference between what you raised and the minimum amount. It's important, because it keeps the event costs down and allows a reasonable percentage of the fundraising to go to the charity (overhead can be a monster).
Knitting stuff!
My hubby broke my yarny fast last night. We went to Windsor Button and I got three skeins of the Tahki Cotton Classic for a hat. I bought and paid for the hat pattern last night and printed it out this morning. I probably won't start the hat until tomorrow (umm, yeah, that WIP list? So hosed), but I should be able to finish the hat by next week even with my training runs and working on Convertible.
Convertible is a great pattern. I'm at just about the half way point in just over a week of knitting (and at least three of those days were when I was sickest with my cold where I didn't do more than 5 rows), and think I'll have it finished by May 18th. I'm counting the Muppet and Convertible as my two projects to complete before buying more yarn (though I do plan on not buying yarn for the Butterscotch Cardigan until I have finished the baby hat and my latest pair of socks), so I need to get cracking!
