I'm glad they'll be fixed and you'll get 2 more feet! I hope Trond enjoys painting? Maybe? Is it soothing to him, like knitting instead of buying a sweater? Or is he simply bound by the chains of tradition? sigh. As for the shawl... You have 64 rows left. hmmm.... Assuming that you have other things to do than knit three to five hours a day before school starts, words of comfort have I none. Except that it's a wonderful thing that yarn doesn't spoil.

I have a husband like that. And they have to be relatively tiny brushes, and he paints with them with his other hand held behind his back for hours, lost in some other world. Maybe it's the paint fumes. When I tried to be helpful by painting the external doors without telling him, he inspected my work and announced I was not to do any more house-painting because I (his exact words) "paint like an artist". Ever since, I've been trying to establish what that means; the best we've managed is that I brush it in too thoroughly, at too many angles. Or something. I wish we had some useful hidden space somewhere. The fleeces are now living in the garage, and I swear they're breeding. OF COURSE I haven't bought any more fibre, dear. I've got lots.

The shawl looks lovely-myine lanquished for months but it went quickly when I made up my mind to finish it so....go for it! It looks worth the time! Who needs to brush their teeth when there is a shawl to birth!!! The house looks great-it is such a good feeling to clean out and reclaim, isn’t it.
