I have that weird, restless, pre-vacation feeling.

I've wrapped up a lot of things I was working on, I don't have much to do (besides pack and clean a bit) before I leave, and so I'm restless.

I did start on the edging for the Trinity Stitch Shawl. I hope it will look better when it's done and blocked, because it doesn't look great right now.

I think I'm going to take this in my "carry-on" bag for the train and work on it on the train, if I can work on it some more this weekend so I totally get the hang of it.

I've also finished the body increases for the Sitcom Chic. I have four more inches to knit before I do the cast-offs for where the sleeves go.

One of my colleagues and his wife are having a barbecue tonight. I'm glad of that, because I'm beginning to go sort of nuts from being alone and idle. I'm discovering that, even though I am a shy person and am not particularly gregarious, I begin to feel a bit sad and almost a bit "invisible" when I'm alone for too long. (I think that's actually what drives me out to the shopping areas some weekends - the need to be around people).
