Late Night

I have been realizing that knitting, even though a little bit pressure on myself, is giving me some relaxation lately.  Or at least for the moment.  I have put the hat and the 22.5* aside for a bit and have been working on the hitchhiker for a bit and am under 10 teeth to go.  I have also started tonight, the Simple Yet Effective Shawl, something I found on Ravelry for free.  Have been working on the shawl with scrap yarn (of course) and hopefully I can get it done for a camping trip to the Oregon coast in June.  If need be, I will tear apart the test runs for other things to get it a good size, since I am not a small person.  Something to throw on if I don't want to put a fleece on at home or at the coast.  It will be great for these days where one week it can be 50s or in the 70s/80s, it still cools down nicely.  Well, we will see how much I get done between work and classes.
