BBBB #3 -- continued

I'm about an inch past the 1/2-way point in the pattern and about 1/2-way through the 4th of 7 balls of yarn which I purchased for this project. If my math is right, this means I'm right on track to have enough yarn to finish the blanket! You can double-check me if you like: I bought 7 balls and I have 3 1/2 left and I'm slightly more than 1/2-way done. Sounds good to me!

I wanted to take another photo so show my progress, but the pattern change just doesn't show up well yet. I think it will by the time I'm done with this ball of yarn. I added the latest ball sometime on Friday while Hazel was resting and worked on it during rest periods from house cleaning. The i-L(s) moved here over the weekend. This might not normally cause frantic housecleaning, but they decided to stop by our house for dinner on the way to their new one, bringing some of their oldest friends with them. At least I found out before Sunday morning. To be honest, I didn't do all that much frantic housecleaning, although I should have. With TL ill and not feeling well myself, I put HUGE blinders on and so avoided seeing too much of the dust and grime.

OK, the point was that I am making some progress on two projects. Sorry for the mini-rant.

I think the i-Ls will need to get used to seeing your house not quite perfect since I expect they will be dropping in more often now. Sure, you may get an hour warning, but that probably isn't as much time as you would like. The countdown is on for the baby blanket, itsn't it? Twelve days or something? not that it needs to be there absolutely day 1, but...

Yes on both counts! Although I think that the i-Ls have noticed the house being imperfect before.

I need to finish the ball I'm working with tonight. Work on TL's sweater through Friday, then work through at least 2 balls of the BBBB #3 yarn by Sunday night or Monday. Then finish off the last ball of yarn by next week Wednesday.

If I can keep to that, then I should be able to make progress on both projects. And be very tired.
