Monogamy

Monogamy is an amazing thing. Although the first half of Annie's Graduation Shawl took about 5 or 6 months, most of it was knit in two weeks. And then the second half was knit entirely during ONE week, as the graduation was fast approaching and I had great hopes of finishing on time.

I did! (Although ALL the photos I took are backlit, and not that great. Sigh.)

I blocked the shawl two days before heading up to Arlington...

And then she wore it during our dinner after graduation.

I do quite like this photo, though I still want some nice ones!

Anyway, it always amazes me how quickly one can finish a project when it is the ONLY project one works on! But then, once I've finished a monogamous project, I usually crave variety, so the amazing feeling of productivity decreases, and I revert to my normal, piecemeal ways.

Today I have off, and plan to knit on whatever pleases me. This will likely mean great progress on Zauberflote!
