Knitters’ progress

The Essentials

At this point in the knitting I must have television. Olympics, maybe, but television or a DVD is a must. I’m knitting the right front, which I’ll finish today. Then it’s sleeves and neckband and buttons and blocking and oh my I’ll be done! I’m in it to finish, and I think I can make it as long as nothing else stops me. I did hit a wall a little earlier in the week, when the desire to work on a nice, easy sock nearly overwhelmed me. Then I looked at all the good work and the progress I’ve made on this lovely sweater, and I knew the sock would wait. I’m determined to wear my Olympic Sweater proudly while I knit socks!

I’ve seen “Room with a View,” “Ladies in Lavender,” two fantastic episodes of “Gray’s Anatomy,” countless hours of Olympic nonsense with some speed skating to break it up, and if I see one more car commercial of any kind…

I would like to report on the Olympic progress of my friend J, who is blogless, and who is knitting along at quite a clip. To begin with, her name is Judy. Judy, okay? The J business is unnecessary. Judy managed to get half a poncho knit during a very stressful week that included two sick but still fabulous R’s, a work deadline, and the very sad death of a very sweet cat. I was at the memorial service, and we actually stood in the kitchen and knit a row or two together. Let’s give her a hand, shall we? I think she’s going to finish with time to spare.

Just for my sweet friend Marfa, here’s what’s in my refrigerator at the moment:
  1. Stonyfield Farm Organic Whole Milk. An essential for the morning coffee. And the evening coffee as well.
  2. The last of the apples from the Harry and David Fruit of the Month Club February package, a Christmas gift from my brother and his family.
  3. Amy’s frozen burritos, in several varieties. A nearly perfect meal, if you ask me.
  4. An empty Fridge Pack of Diet Coke. I guess that means I have to go to the store.
  5. Smucker’s Natural Creamy peanut butter and the treat-to-myself Stonewall Kitchen Apricot-Cherry Preserves. No bread, though; guess I’ll be using a spoon.
