I'm away for the weekend again and on Monday, I start working and officially give up my student status for the first time in my life. A little scary, no?
On the knitting front, I've been slowly plugging away at the thousands of projects (or maybe more like 4) currently on the needles with no real progress to show. Icarus still has another 10 rows to go until she's finished. It WILL get done this weekend while at the cottage (don't laugh).
Way back in the day, I got sucked into the Mystery Stole 3 vortex after reading this on Nicole's blog. Since the start date was looming I went out to buy some suitable yarn last week. Don't look at me like that, there was nothing that would work in the stash. I swear.
Zephyr wool/silk in a colour called Pewter. I love that it's neither grey nor white.
Here's what I've managed to finish so far. Hopefully I'll also get caught up over the weekend since I'm only halfway through Clue 1 and Clue 2 was posted this morning.
So far I sort of like not knowing what the finished product will look like exactly. I also love the pressure of having to keep up with the clues. This should force me to get my act together.
Does anyone else have a series of unrealistic goals to be met this weekend? I can't help but feel that weekends are a type of magical time-warp where I will finally get caught up with everything (you can laugh at this one...I'm laughing too.)

Hi Amanda
My life is full of unrealistic goals so this post made me smile.
Wanted to let you know that, along with all the other things you have to cope with, I have tagged you for eight random facts about yourself. Check out my blog 7th July, for details.
See you again soon :)
Yeah, I'm trying to get caught up too. It's not working so good just yet... but I have hopes. :)
Best of luck, and your mystery shawl looks great!
