A delightful lunch with Blueman and the maternal unit -check
Four hours or so of knitting whilst clearing items out of dvr backlog -check!
Yesterday Blueman innocuously asked how long it takes to do an inch or so of knitting. I measure the time to do one row and guesstimated about an hour. So for the math prodigies, using that calculation, a six foot shawl will take approximately 70 some odd hours. Holy guacamole batman!
I measured and I nearly have three feet done of the project I am calling "Troubled Waters". It doesn't show too clearly but it's like and dark colored 'waters' in aqua mix and periwinkle grey mix. The darker stripes take the majority here for two reasons. 1- I have more dark yarn than light and 2- metaphorically the darker color symbolizes to me a churning water. When seas are calm, we renew, refresh, enjoy the peace. Too much calm begets complacency. Without a churning sea, you don't see challenges in life. There is little to make calm seas favorable.
Wow. That's a heavy load for this comfy prayer shawl to carry. No worries though. Prayers for the recipient are stitched all the way through.
Happy Easter.
