The Sopranos and Clue #2 Don't Mix Well

I've decided I just can't watch The Sopranos while working on MS3. Which is a dagger in my heart, in its puny little way, as watching The Sopranos while knitting is one of my hallowed calorie-free middle-aged pleasures. But I put in the dvd, started working on Clue #2, and almost immediately was in a world of hurting. I have to accept the fact:MS3, for me, requires both eyes full time. No quick glances to see if Tony and Carmella are getting back together.

So I switched over to Court TV (which normally, for me, does not require peeking), and tinked back to row 100. It took me most of the day, knitting at half the speed of smell to complete clue #2. There are at least 2 errors, but Brad Pitt with a rose between his teeth could not convince me to tear out the 30 rows I'd need to frog to fix them. Here it is:

Yeash, I am such a wimp, whining about my traumatic knit session. Next week maybe I'll try something sane and do 20 rows on Friday, 20 rows on Saturday, and 10 on Sunday. Maybe I'll put on NPR and sit on the front porch and drink lemonade and sing hymns. Right.
On another front, here is the Lambspun stole, blocked. It is loo-oo-oong, measuring about 21" by 81". As usual, I probably over-blocked it a wee bit. I will try to add another picture which shows better pattern detail -- these just show how incredibly loo--oo--oong and gold this monster is.


For now, I am craving mindless bimbo knitting. Also known as Sopranos Knitting. I'll let you if any of the odd balls in my stash makes me an offer I can't refuse.
