Ravellenic Games - Day 11

  

Yesterday was an extremely emotional day for my family and as a result my knitting progress was non existent.  This morning I woke up very flat but determined to plod on.  When I pulled out the Excel Spreadsheet to check on my progress and how to catch up a day of non knitting, It produced a figure of 54 rows a day to be done, which is just not practical.  So I am going to put the Zig and Zag project on hold and get out some stash and at least aim to finish a scarf or two before Sunday.

Ravellenic Games - Day 10

  

I am halfway!!! 

Well 2 rows over!! I stayed up late last night to watch Bolt do his thing and managed to finish my 32 rows I wanted to and it put me halfway over!  I also managed to weave in all the ends that I had been neglecting to do as I wanted to just get back to a realistic amount of rows that I had to complete each day to finish before the end of the closing ceremony.

And it is the perfect width for Pudding's bed!  It's going to be longer than his bed, but that's what I wanted.  I was just worried it would be too narrow.  And then I wouldn't have been happy with it at all.

Ravellenic Games - Day 9

  

Have I mentioned how much my Hubby rocks.  The boys were hectic yesterday and he did all the running around, dropping off and collecting, even at 22:00 last night when the Barmie ended.  Even though he saved me from all that driving time, I still didn't manage to catch up with my blanket after the past few days of feeling dreadful.

This morning I admitted defeat that I will not be able to catch up with my original plan and pulled out my notebook, entered it all into Excel so I could plan properly.  Yes I plan all my blankets in Excel so I know exactly what I have to do and how far I am.  I am a lot OCD like that.

What I did find was that I worked out the amount of rows I had to do and have done incorrectly.  That will teach me to rely on my foggy brain.  I didn't post a picture yesterday as I wasn't happy with the lack of progress, I still am not happy but have decided to put that feeling behind me and plod on.

Ravellenic Games - Day 8

  

No photos today the weather is miserable and I can't get a decent shot, but that is really no biggie as I only managed 18 rows yesterday, even though I was feeling better, the lack of sleep during the night due to a blocked nose, took its toll and every time I sat down I fell asleep.  I am so far behind on my schedule but am hoping to catch up this weekend.

Day 6.  Well I'm glad that is behind me.  I only managed 22 rows done, I kept falling asleep.  Also we had a busy afternoon and only got home well after 17:00 which is very odd for us.

Ravellenic Games - Day 6

  

OH NO I have woken up with the head cold that my youngest had at the beginning of the week.  I feel dreadful.  I should have know when last night I fell asleep very early after putting boys to bed.

I also have figured out that 32 rows a day is my maximum that I can do, with all the life interruptions that happen.

Can I just say that TeamRSA over on Ralvery are fantastic.  Not only do we have two across the finish line already but the Ralvetar that two of the amazing ladies came up with is outstanding.
