Proof

I can't believe I finally started knitting The Great American Aran Afghan again. I've been wanting to do it for so long that I've gotten sick of hearing myself talk about it:

"I really need to finish that square"
"I already bought all of that yarn for the GAAA, I should just get going on that"
"I'm the moderator for the GAAA knit along and I'm not even working on a square"
"Blah, blah, blah"

Well, it's a blast to knit up and it looks cool. Here's proof that I finally picked it back up:


This is the McIntire square and I've got about half done. At this rate I should be able to finish it up by this weekend. No joke. I can't believe I thought this was going to take me forever.

I checked my KnitPicks order of yarn for the Peapod Baby Set and it's estimated delivery is Monday. Last time they said that it got here a day early. It's right on schedule to be my next project. I scanned over the instructions for that - now that looks like a difficult project. I'll be using every reference book I own for that one. Good thing it's small.

I have no pictures to share yet for the lace scarf. I'm waiting for my blocking wires to get here from HandWorks NW. I figure it will be easier to use the wires than to take an afternoon to pin it out. There's no shipping timeframe listed on the site but I can be patient. After my research I found that they were the best set and highly recommended by long-time lace knitters from the Knitters Review forums.
