It clearly helps to stay home and concentrate on one thing sometimes. Last night I had just under two full squares of weaving completed. Tonight I have six finished and am ready to start on the seventh in the morning.
I also had occasion to talk to the manager of the group project. Turns out I am not the last to finish after all. I should be done tomorrow. There are still two people out of the group of ten who haven't finished and she doesn't know how far along they are. Now I can feel better, though I'll feel much better when this is just plain finished.
Rita was (as always) extremely nice and helpful. I mentioned that I was concerned that I might run out of the natural colored cotton before reaching the end, and she actually brought a spool of it to me at the library while I was working tonight. She reassured me that my squares, however I interpreted them, will be just fine.
Even so, if I never see any more purple yarn I will NOT complain. I'm sure I've mentioned before the fact that of ten chosen colors (one for each participant) I had to weave with to finish this task, six were shades of purple. In fact, four of those were the same shade, about the color of grape soda (ugh.)
Anyway, I should sleep better tonight. Especially since I feel as if I'd been riding a bicycle all day. No hills, but a steady pace on the level. I think I've not woven this much in a single day before, and these being complex two-footed patterns, it became exercise of a sort.
