3 hours and approximately 40 minutes is how long it took me to rip out all 8 rows enough to fix the mistakes. Yep... 2 hours of naptime and about an hour and 40 minutes last night while Jerry played a video game. BTW, my husband loves this project because I'm focused on my knitting and not on t.v. Therefore, when he comes in and says "Are you really watching this or can I play a game?" The answer is (unless it is NCIS or Survivor night), "Go ahead and play. I have to concentrate on this." LOL
I even was able to start working again last night. Although, by the time I frogged so much and fixed the problem, I was so tired that I didn't get very far. So hopefully today I will make up some time.
In other news, I have to remove a project from the list. Smith's baby shower is next Saturday. I won't have time to knit anything for her. I'm o.k. with that, though, because we don't know her that well. If it were say... Kira, Sandy, Wendy, Nina, Rachel, Heather, Kendra, Melissa Gray or another good friend that should know who you are, I'd be upset. Smith, however, Jerry works with but isn't that good of friends with. I mean, they were deployed together and all, but you know... I just discovered her first name is Kristin and not Sarah recently if that tells you anything.
Flores stays on the list and is getting moved up a bit. His wife isn't due until this summer and he and Jerry are better friends I think. At least, it seems that way. Plus, I've talked to Flores a few times and actually know him if I see him in the civilian world, so that makes it a little different. Smith could walk right past me in the civilian world and I wouldn't know her. I am going to move Flores up on the list, though, so that I have it ready for any baby shower that might happen. My husband is not so good with telling me details. Which is why I thought I'd have time to knit something for Smith. Apparently, she's due sooner than Jerry thought.
So today we are going to go buy Smith a gift from Target. It pains me, but not as much as if it were someone we know well.
Aw, I made the list. :) The prayer shawl is looking beautiful! She's going to love it!
