I was fully expecting to fall to the temptation of winding the Nocturne Heather into a ball and starting on the Travelling Woman. As far as I was concerned, this post would consist of me posting a picture of the East Gable Shawl and then making a half-hearted excuse as to why I'm not working on it before showing you pics of my newer project. I don't know why I would feel the need to make excuses, but it seems to be an innate part of me.

Instead, I have found a solution to the repetitive knitting woes: knitting during video game cutscenes. The East Gable Shawl is actually the perfect project for this. Because it's repetitive, I don't need to consult a chart every five seconds to make sure I'm doing it right. I can just set it to the side while I'm shooting up the Citadel and then pick it up when I confront a Cerberus operative.
If you have never played Mass Effect 3, you have no idea what that sentence means -- suffice it to say, it's a long cutscene.
I am making steady progress on the East Gable now -- I'm almost to the purple end of the gradient in this yarn and I feel I'll probably bind off within the next few days. It will likely be blocked before I leave for college this weekend, though I'm suspecting that packing will delay that a bit.
For now, however, I'm going to return to blasting through the Silversun Strip and making out with attractive Canadian men voiced by Raphael Sbarge. If I'm lucky, more cutscenes are in my future.
