Well, sort of, anyhow. After my whiny, self-absorbed post the other day, I finally sucked it up and dove into finding my mistake on the shawl after the kids went to bed. I ended up tinking back two rows (at 320 or stitches/row, that took a while) and found that I’d managed to drop a YO at the beginning of a row. I probably dropped the first YO of row 155 while starting row 157, or maybe 159, I don’t know. Regardless of when I dropped it, I fixed it and am now midway through row 158, which I had to abandon because of a crying baby. I didn’t get a chance to work on it at all yesterday, since I conked out putting the kids to bed, but maybe today.

I also have a lead on some charcoal sock yarn (finally!) - my friend Josie suggested that I call her local LYS (All About Yarn in Coon Rapids, MN). Well, I called them and they’d just gotten a shipment of sock yarn in. And yes, there was charcoal yarn in there! *Choir of angels sings* Well, now we’ve got to set up a playdate for the kids and a yarn date for us, so I can go visit and get back to work on Chris’s socks. And now I can stop bitching about the damned charcoal sock yarn.

Grace is begging me to play Snood, so I’d better finish up here. I got batteries for the camera, so I hope to get some pictures posted soon.
