Good Day, Sunshine!
Today was a long day at work. It was made longer by two things.
1) Knowing it was sunny outside.
2) Knowing that tomorrow would be the first day in over a month that I have a day off with absolutely nothing planned. Meaning that I could, oh, perhaps, knit?
3) (whoops, there's three!) Knowing that I could soon go home and knit more on the pinwheel:
It may be hard to tell from the photo, but there are four full squares, and one and a half squares of the next largest size more than were done last night. It's amazing to watch the geometry of the growth of the pinwheel. Each progressive triangle is only four stitches wider, at the base, than the previous row, but they are so much bigger! (Yes, I took high level mathematics in college, and I still find this baffling. Can you see why I dropped engineering to major in art?)
If I work really hard tomorrow and Thursday, I might be able to actually take the sweater to Boyz Night and work on seaming it there. That'd be swell!
Mmmm, I'm going to go sleep now, and not set an alarm clock. Yay!
PS: Oh my God, is David Beckham a hot hot hot hot man!

And yes he is!!!
David Beckham = yum
Still trying to get a sense of the sweater--very interesting, but I can not understand how it works.

But had to comment on the David Beckham reference as my daughter is going to the L.A. Galaxy soccer match tonight and they are playing Real Madrid with Beckham. She is extremely excited as she will be meeting the team in an autograph/training session and walking them on the field. I told her to tell him that you think he is hot. WHo knows he might see the other side and leave the toothppick he is married to....
