It’s just not going to happen. . .

I gave it a valiant effort, but the fern lace scarf is not going to be finished tonight.  I’m currently at about 50 inches with 10 more to go, so it will definitely be finished tomorrow.  Michelle told me to try to block it using wet cloths and the iron, rather than a full out blocking, and I think that’s the way I’ll have to go.
My fingers are so stiff, and I’m definitely needing a massage after this!  Who would have thought that there’s such a thing as “too much knitting?”  I know, I know – I’ll feel differently tomorrow.
We had Christmas with Michelle tonight – over the phone, since she’s in Alaska.  She’s a good knitting friend – she bought me Nancy Bush’s book, “Knitting Vintage Socks!”  I can’t wait to finish the fern lace and start picking out new projects!  I’ve got some great sock yarn in the stash.
Good night – I’ll be back tomorrow!
