The neverending project
Back to working on the Wedding Afghan. Remembered why I don't work on this during my lunch break: too difficult to read pattern, wield cable needle, and eat lunch at the same time.

Existence! Who knew!
The blog and I still exist!
I have misplaced my camera cable, so while there are pictures, they are being held hostage on my digital camera.
The Celtic Knot Afghan is coming along beautifully. I am now on gauge (I think), using Addi Turbos in US 10.5. The difference between the 10.5 and 10 is astounding. I am on my second skein of Cascade 220 Superwash Paints in Jelly Bean.
I also, around April 21st, cast on the Simple Lace Headband by Melissa Mall (ravelry link). It's a small project, and I'm using up the last twelve yard of my pink Colinette Tao. US 6 needles are being used for the project.
I've joined a knitting group at a local bookstore, thanks to one of my friends from work. Yay! The meeting place is highly dangerous: there are books. Lots of books. Including the latest Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian. (For those not in the know, The Last Olympian is the fifth, and perhaps final?, book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series)

Questions
I recast on with the 6.5mm Addi Turbo circs, and was steadfastly knitting away on the afghan when my niece piped up,
"You're making a big blanket? I can't believe it!"
I wasn't sure if she was confused by the needles being connected (this might have been the first time she saw circs in her life), or the fact that I was working on only 1/3 of a blanket.
On the other hand, I'm rather glad I went up a needle size. The difference in gauge is absolutely astounding. The panel is much wider now!

Not your average wedding afghan
I haven't been blogging as much as I would like to, and I've fallen quite behind in keeping up with my blogroll. I have a vacation coming up, so there will be some time reuniting myself with the knitting blogosphere.
Last week I cast on the Celtic Knot Afghan, and I reached row 19 tonight. I'm enjoying the pattern so far, though why, oh why, Nicky Epstein, did you not chart this?
Progress so far...
There would have been more progress made this weekend, but I idiotically left my knitting behind when I went to a lecture. I picked at my nail polish in sheer frustration.
