I’ve been avoiding the projects I need to get done. The baby blanket is crawling along — the kid is due May 24. My Mom’s afghan hasn’t been touched in months — her birthday is in 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

I haven’t worked on the Adamas shawl since I cast on for the baby blanket. It sits on my coffee table, glaring at me. And I want to knit it, but I can’t, not until I get at least one of the projects with a deadline done. <\/p>\n
