Dog Sitting & Knitting

House/Dog sitting for friends who are on vacation in Hawaii.  I only brought one project, the Lace Sampler Blanket from 60 Quick Baby Knits.  The reason for one project is that its for a baby shower at the end of the month.

Did some calculations on the number of rows in the project and I need to complete 74.25 per week, ending on Saturdays, because lets face it, you know I'll be probably be working on this up till the very start of the shower. Here is my progress so far.

Have 4 repeats done which puts me behind for Week 2 by 40.07 rows.  Should be able to make significant headway on this as I have today off and working on the blanket and listening to podcasts.  I'm currently 2 episodes behind on KnitCents, all caught up on Cast On and I'm now listening to the Knitmore Girls.  This one will take a while to get caught up on as I'm just starting to listen to it and currently on Episode 30 out of 149.

Going to go grab my shawl (think I'm coming down with a cold), a little more to drink, and settle back in for more knitting.  Here are some pictures of the dogs and kids (I don't have to take care of the outdoor critters but its fun to check them out).
