Now that I have the prospect of free time for knitting, I must come to grips with the fact that I have only one project on the needles.  It’s boring.  It’s endless.  And since I can’t make up my mind about what to knit next, if I want to knit at all I have to power through and finish this.

Last weekend I took both shawls – the finished green one (now many years old and needing a good wash and block) and the not-yet-finished gold one – and laid them out on the grass, with the gold overlapping the green.  Pretty, huh?  I love how neat the edge on the gold shawl is – that’s the actual edge, not a photo-shopped splice.

I was trying to get a photo which would show how much remained to be knit.  It turned out to be a pretty difficult thing to get in one shot; here’s the best I could do (the angle distorts everything):

I’ve been making steady progress all week so it’s even closer now.  I just added in the last ball of yarn!!!!!  I think I will be done within a week or so, and then a terrible problem emerges.  What next?  I am suffering from over choice.  There are so many gorgeous patterns out there begging to be knit that I have descended into a pattern paralysis, so to speak.  While I remain in this state of indecision, I will keep on ribbing.

Have a good weekend everyone!
