lunging for the finish line

I did the final rows of the shawl of irritation tonight while at knit night at the sports bar.  All I have left is one very long bind-off row. I'm going to hop in bed and do that now, sew in the ends, and tomorrow give this thing a good soak and blocking.

And thennnnn....

I finally cast-on for something else more enjoyable (possibly even two things--one portable, one not), and also set my sights towards doing some spinning. Le Tour de France is coming, which means so is the Tour de Fleece!  And I am also about to head off to a spinning retreat in a couple of weeks!

Back to knitting....g'night!
