the offWhites

Just watched the first miniseries episode of Battlestar Galactica. It was good.

We’ve got the complete miniseries as well as seasons one and two, with season three on the way.

I think I’m set for my knitting tv for a while.

Speaking of knitting, I’m through row 85. The main charted section has 101 rows, so 16 more rows there. Then there’s the end chart, which is 12 rows, only two of which involve any lace stitches, so it should go very quickly. I’m guestimating I’ll be finished with the knitting tomorrow. The last 16 rows of the main section should take about two hour-long tv shows, minus commercial breaks, so, about 1.5 hours, plus another hour, let’s say, for the last one. So, only 2.5 hours of knitting to get the sucker done.¹

All that’s left then is blocking the scarf. That should be interesting, as I’ve never blocked anything before. Also? I don’t have any straight pins to block it with. I guess I’ll figure that out soon enough, right?

1. This all assumes I can knit tomorrow. I’m feeling absolutely wretched, as one is likely to when they ignore a wicked sore thoat and talk way too much all day. My throat feels raw, my nose hurts from blowing it too much, and my ears achy and popping constantly. [↩]
