I didn't get anything I wanted to finish done over the weekend. Not too surprising. I am in the slog part of the rehearsal schedule, and all I wanted to do this weekend was sleep.
What I did was work on my hat. It's waiting for me to get home and finish up the decreases with double points, as it is getting a wee too spread out on my circular.
What I didn't do was work on the socks or on my sweater. Heck, I stuck my backpack (aka, roaming boredom survival kit) in the closet and really didn't pull it out all weekend. With that, I ignored the deadline knitting. I ignored the random crochet project I started, and I just sat down with a skein of yarn and some beads.
Now, I am working on Le Slouch, which is a reasonably fast project. About 200 yards worth of yarn-y goodness, made into a much slower project by the introduction of beads. I favor Grumperina's method of stringing beads, but that does make for a much slower project as you slide beads down on a relatively frequent basis. I would be done, except no dpns. C'est la vie. I will be able to wear it tomorrow or Thursday if I get lucky enough to have some extra knitting time.
Otherwise, it probably won't be until Monday. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays (it's a cook's holiday), and there will be cooking Wednesday and Thursday (I started Monday morning with crack of dawn cookie fiesta). I will be sewing sashes for Pirates on Friday, and probably helping with Light Hang on Saturday. Put in is Sunday. The hours at the end of a show get compressed, each one becoming correspondingly more valuable. We are at that stage. I will get to surface again in mid-December.
