Brain Cells Dying

I took the Civil War shawl to round 93 before putting it away. That is the end of a section in the pattern. There are now 576 stitches in the round. This is also the point where the pattern suggests you switch to circular needles if you haven't already done so. The mind boggles.

I put the unfinished shawl on top of the TV cabinet so it can remind me to hurry up and finish my other projects.

I am in the never ending stockinette stitch that is my brother-in-law's vest. Why did I do this in the round? It feels like it is taking forever!

As of just now it measures 10".

That means I have another 10" to go before I get to the armpits. Why does the Green family have to be so darned long waisted! There are 272 stitches in a round and I'm getting 11 rounds for every 2 inches. That means 14,960 more mind numbing stitches! At least when I get to the arm holes I will only have to deal with just the front or just the back.

I just have to keep remembering all the nice yarn and knitting kits my brother-in-law gets me for Christmas and be thankful he didn't want a Dale.
