We have a new face in the knitalong this week, Bec of Glamorouse, who writes, "I'm feeling a bit of a fraud that I'm yet to cast on, but somebody has to be last, right? My last hurdle is that I'm still waiting on my Bendigo Wool Mills colour card to get yarn (Suse's recommendation and I trust her completely on this one!) but I have the needles, I have the pattern, and I'm returning to my normal job today after three months of an extra-demanding project so hopefully I now also have the TIME to knit!"
As for me, well, I didn't think I had the time this week either, since my choir had not one but two performances of Mozart's Mass in c minor, involving numerous trips both "home" and "away" for rehearsals, and the concerts this weekend. This was more than a bit of bother, but on the other hand I had Mozart in my head all week, and that can't be bad.
Now, I can't make any particularly educated statements about the Mozart effect one way or the other -- but I wouldn't be surprised if this time it was just the adrenalin --
as I finished both of the sleeves this week, and everything is blocking.
Pass the Chibi!
Beth adds, "Sorry I'm late replying - nothing too interesting to report I'm afraid. My computer is still on the blink - had to send it out for repairs. I'm afraid people will think I've abandoned my blog. I've finished my 1st sleeve, and I'm now halfway up the second. I added 18 extra rows to the sleeve, I've got pretty long arms, and decided that I prefer the sleeve to reach closer to wrist length than just below the elbow. I'm hoping to have something a bit more interesting by next week. Hope everyone is moving smoothly along."

Jeanne I'm so impressed! Now for the fun part - all that sewing.

ps
Welcome Bec - and I thought I'd be the last to finish!

Hooray Jeanne! I hope the adrenalin will see you through the tedium of sewing it up. My least favourite part.
I have nothing to report (said she, guiltily.) I'm knitting mittens at the moment and ignoring Pearl. I'll probably be last to finish.
