The last weekend of May we spent in QLD, dh had HOG P.O.T (Harley Owners Group - Primary Officer Training) and I went along for a nice relaxing 5 days. It rained and blue a gale the whole time. Not good weather for much outdoors, but the knitting I got done was so relaxing and made me happy to get so much done on the baby shawl.
As with most conferences the food was there all the time, I am glad I wasn't doing the training as I got to each fruit for my morning/afternoon snack, the breakfast, lunch and dinners were huge, I feel as if I ate most of the days away. I didn't drink any alcohol, which I think I am very over now, especially since having such high liver readings and not drinking any alcohol since mid March, and I don't seem to miss it either.
We arrived home around 7.30pm on Monday night, unpacked, ate (again) sat down for about 1 hour, then went to bed, we were both so tired this morning, but we had to get back to work. I am so tired now and will be heading off to bed as soon as I finish this post and read a couple of favorite blogs.
I only did a row and a bit tonight on the shawl, with about 63 rows to go, which doesn't seem much but at the moment it takes about 40 minutes a row and the last row I increased 4 stitches on every pattern which is a damn lot of stitches I just increased, so it will probably take a bit longer now, so I worked out the other night that I would have to do 6 rows a night to finish by the time of the 'baby shower' on 26 June. That is my goal to finish, but if that doesn't happen then I need to have it done before she is born in August. So really I don't have to rush, but I would like to have it down for June 26. The pressure is on now. The photo was taking on Sunday afternoon, so a bit more is done now. It is still hard to get a good photo on circular needles, I was changing to a longer circular needle at this time so while I had it on 2 circular needles I stretched it out a bit to get the photo.
