I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
Holy nighmare of a knitting beast batman! This is going to take me forever! I have started my last ball of yarn. I have 316 stitches left (exactly) I don't feel I will run out of yarn. I feel like I will run out of steam. I hope I finish this thing before I get bored. I didn't work on it at all yesterday. I couldn't stand to look at the damn thing.
I am NOT giving up. Hence the absence from this blog. Really. This is all I have been working on.
sigh.....

It looks great! Just imagine how pretty it'll look keeping you warm, have a drink, and steam right through. Movies help.

Don't give up, it looks great! As someone who wants to be a math geek (but can't quite figure out the math part) I think this shawl rocks - and I'm really impressed! The color you picked is great, too!

You CAN do it!
Posted by: Scout at August 30, 2006 10:03 AM
Um, Batman is a proper name (and is also the BEST superhero in the WORLD) and should be capitalized. Thank you! :)
PS) Will you be adding any feathers, glitter or bedazzeling to this project?
Posted by: Carol at August 30, 2006 04:44 PM
You can do it! It's looking so great!
Posted by: Erin at August 30, 2006 06:54 PM
Keep at it, you'll get there! I know what you're up against. But you can do it! We believe in you! (Did you try your 'rasta hat' on? Because I did when I was knitting my circle shrug.)
