But The Fortune Cookie Said So!

"You should be able to undertake and complete anything."

Or so the mocking little twist of a cookie proclaimed. Sadly, it was not to be with my Olympic Knitting challenge. But you probably already knew that, based on the lack of progress posts - or any posts at all for that matter.

A combination of illness (mine and Madame Sylvia's) plus pure exhaustion has left me shy of completing my lovely lace and bead endeavor. Truth is, I haven't picked up sticks in nearly 10 days, despite my fervent wish to ride the wave of encouragement from my faithful friends. As I write this, I still feel a bit of the woozy-headedness and coughing which have been my lot since before the torch was lit.

I will finish the scarf as it is a surprise gift for a wonderful family friend, but not by any stretch of the imagination will I reach the cast-off party by tomorrow.
