Tedius Tuesday Task

Today I knitted all afternoon and finished the 9 inches I had to do on the prayer shawl the group is knitting. A friend invited me over and we knitted together. She was my inspiration and watching her knit kept me motivated to do what I had to do with my project. It was sort of tedius because it wasn't something I'm doing by myself. We're each going to knit 9 inches on the shawl. I was the second knitter and wanted my stitches to be as tight as the person who knitted before me. I had to knit a row and then purl a row and make sure that I didn't drop or add any stitches. Luckily for me, I ended up with the correct number of stitches when I was done with the last row. I handed it in when I went to the PSM meeting tonight and the next person will knit 9 more inches by next week. At the meeting tonight I started another lap blanket with my favorite yarn. I may decide to make it into a prayer shawl instead of the lap blanket. Time will tell which I end up doing. It was nice to be with the group again. We're going to meet next week even though there is a DOM meeting later in the week. We all said how we look forward to Tuesday night so we can get together and knit.
