Crazed, Deadline-Driven Knitting Abandoned

One of these days I will post pictures again. It's just that all I have to show is a (slightly) longer cable band. I'm encountering that knitting phenomenon where you knit and knit and knit and then you measure and it's only half an inch longer than it was when you picked it up. Waah. It's about as likely that I'll get this sweater done by tomorrow as it is my young commenter will get a prom date. (Sorry. That was mean.) Anyway, I'm going to keep plugging along. I was hoping to have lots of knitting time this weekend, but G says that he will almost certainly have to work a lot this weekend. Ah, the law is a jealous mistress, as they say. So we'll see how much knitting gets done.

Various other business: Miss McSpazz, I am going to the Coldplay concert with my husband. Unless he has to work or something (see above), and then I'll have to find someone else. Glaistig wants to go, but she would have to fly in. Today is Minty's birthday, so go wish her a Happy Day! New Affiknitty banner above, thanks to Kim! She told me (the HTML idiot) exactly what to do. She has a cool blog, so drop by.

Also, I've been meaning to do this for a while. The earthquake in Pakistan and India left devastation on a scale that is enormous, yet there has been little media attention given to the disaster. Winter is coming and millions of people are homeless. Sadly, relief efforts have received only a fraction of the aid that is needed. Maybe it's "empathy fatigue" but people have not responded in the way that they did for the tsunami last December, or for Katrina. A kind knitblogger, Jessica, has set up a blog to raise money for the earthquake victims. If you can, please stop by and make a donation. Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I'll be thinking of you knitting sisters while I'm counting my blessings.
