Stressin'

The Bed Shrug has got me stressin'! It is such an important and timeline driven project that I really can't mess it up, or I will let down my Mother in Law on one of the happiest days of her life. So, with that in mind (and as a Project Manager) I have given myself a schedule. Ready for it? Here we go:
  • There are 30 repeats left in the shrug.
  • There are 22 days left for me to knit them.
  • There are three days after that for me to hem the picots, block and sew the "sleeves"
  • If I knit 1 repeat every week night and 3 repeats every weekend day/night that will put me at the total number of repeats complete on the 18th of August, leaving me exactly one week until the wedding.
  • If I block and seam and hem the picots by the 22nd, I will have time to adjust any tiny things before the Saturday wedding.
In a perfect world I would knit more than 1 repeat each week night, and I am going to go for gold tonight by trying to do 3, however, I know how my evenings get and I need a plan. I would love for her to try this on as it goes, but as it's lace that isn't really ideal. I will have to suffice since we are approximately the same size (albeit, I am a bit bustier with slightly smaller arms, but I think I'll do.)
God I hope this gets done on time and that it fits...like I said, I am stressin'!

Oooh, sister, I am stressin' for you! Good luck! I'm coming down next Thursday night (8.9) - if you want to have a power-knitting, coffee-inspired meetup, just let me know! I'd love to see the shrug :) I have lots of mindless WIPs on the needles right now: two pairs of socks, a Gryffindor scarf (we have to discuss the Deathly Hallows!). But I did buy a kit for the bee shawl from Anne from Knitspot - I need a challenge! Let me know if you can make it and I'll force Peter to come and bring his needles to work that day! And good luck with the shrug!!
