Hallelujah!

For some reason, as I sat here watching the Illinois-Michigan game (Oskee-wow-wow!) and frantically working on my Red Scarf, I decided to visit their site, to make sure I was right in thinking the scarf needed to be mailed by October 15. And -- hallelujah! -- I was wrong! I have until October 31!

Over th last two weeks, work has infringed a lot on my personal time, including time actually at work last Saturday and tomorrow. Plus, I will be gone to back-to-back conferences from October 10-20. Well, I'll be back for about 36 hours around October 16, but that's just enough time to do laundry! So I thought I really needed to get this scarf done, including washing and blocking, by Friday, and I just didn't see how it would happen.

Now, I'm still aiming to have the knitting done, or very nearly so, by Friday, but I won't have to wash, block, and mail until after I'm back from my travels to Dallas, Texas and Troy, Michigan.

(And hopefully, there will be pictures tomorrow....)

Now don't get cocky! ;-) (That's what I tell hub when he's watching his football games and they're ahead.) But an extra nearly 2 weeks should be good.

Sounds like a crazy month!

Yay! I had my scarf finished at the beginning of September, but for some reason I haven't been able to get it in the mail! I'm glad to know I've got a bit more time. There are just too many places in this process where everything can break down!
