I stopped knitting on the Gaia last night with only a few rows left, so I thought I'd finish by 8 am or so. No, I got clever with the cast-off, had to undo it after struggling for hours, and finished knitting and casting off at 2 pm. No problem, except that I'm having our big holiday party tomorrow, and I've neither cleaned nor bought groceries.

I'm convinced (against all reason or experience) that I'll be able to clean in the few hours I have left, and tomorrow's party will go as smoothly as silk.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a shawl to block.
