mousmeLessons in people-thwacking have been postponed unti later tonight (around 8pm), so am futzing around doing not too much.
Have worked a bit on the Sweater o' Doom, and now have nine inches finished on the back piece. I don't think it'll be finished in time for the 23rd, when my parents get back, but if I spend a lot of time on it in the next two weeks I ought to have something to show for it. That's my hope, anyway.
The wool is a right bitch to work with, though, as it's very stiff and purposefully woven in unequal thicknesses, and given that I have to pay close attention to my work I generally either have to take lots of breaks or end my session with knots in the muscles of my fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back. Evil stuff. I really hope that A) my mother likes it and B) it'll fit her properly. It would suck if it was too small. :P
The FFEs have been clingy, which should surprise no one. They haven't broken anything in the apartment, which is a feat in itself.
I hope tonight's lessons are more theoretical than practical, as I am wiped. I just don't have the energy of my youth, when I was able to pull all these one-nighters with no difficulty.
