Pressure, pressure, pressure

Hubby's birthday is in 3 days time. I have 3 days to finish the ribbed cardigan for him. Oh the pressure. I have the back and left front completed. I have 2 sleeves on the needles to save time. 80% completed. 3 days to finish the sleeves, start and finish the right front, sew the pieces and knit the collar and attach an open ended zip (which I have never done before, and I have yet to purchase!!) Oh my gawd! I think I should be making it his Christmas present...........

Can't blog anymore, must knit more sleeves. BTW - I am SOS (sick of "damned" sleeves). Why must men be so much bigger!!! (not that my hubby is 6'5" and built like a rugby player!) From now on, he will only get 1 big piece of knitting every 8 years. Socks, hats and scarves from now on. Sorry for the lack of pictures. More soon.

PS - thank you to everyone for the lovely thoughts. I actually feel more calm about her passing, having seen her and saying my goodbye, than hearing the news about her stroke. Anyway.......
