at mile 25 It's almost marathon time! We usually watch every year from one of the points in the last couple miles of the course where the route runs through our neighborhood. You can see the buildings where the finish line is downtown, you can yell to the runners that they're almost there, and there's good eats! With the marathon so close, it's easy to start thinking of things in marathon terms. And I'd say that my synchronicity top is just about at mile 25.
The last sleeve is ready to be set in and I've even done the edging on the neck already.
This is exactly the point where Rosie Ruiz would jump in and claim victory! posted by alison at 8:11 am | in

It is gorgeous! I just love that color! Soon you will be wearing it! Hope S gets a picture of you with it on! Posted by: Sandee at April 14, 2006 8:48 AMYay!! So pretty... Posted by: Chris at April 14, 2006 9:04 AMGo, girl, you're almost there! Pick up those feet-don't stop now! The sweater looks great! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished. And the colors! I can't get over how great the colors are! Posted by: Sara at April 14, 2006 9:56 AMSo, you're going to call your pink sweater, finished close to the marathon, your Rosie Ruiz knit, right? Posted by: colleen at April 14, 2006 10:44 AMMarathon. Sigh. I never have Patriots' Day off... Posted by: Beth S. at April 14, 2006 11:37 AMMy fuchsia side loves that sweater! I am taking Monday off to participate in local festivities by wearing some kind of bizarre costume while spinning (yeah, I'll take pix, I'm too old to embarrass easily), but your way of celebrating sounds great too. Posted by: Lucia at April 14, 2006 12:02 PMCan't wait to see it all sewn up. Tomorrow?? Posted by: helene at April 14, 2006 2:07 PMBeautiful fushcia sweater!! Posted by: gail at April 14, 2006 2:09 PMLOL, Doesn't she still claim she didn't cheat? LOL Posted by: Lynn at April 14, 2006 2:27 PMOh, patriot's day. I so miss the fact that the entire state gets the day off so a few really good athletes can run their hearts out. What fun! I always imagined that if I ever ran a marathon (fat chance) I'd love to crash the course and hope that the drunken BU kids will propel me through the last 3 miles. Have fun! Posted by: Jen the Knittingspaz at April 14, 2006 4:46 PMAhhh... I went to Wellesley and the marathon goes right by campus. I loved getting the whole day off, that was awesome. : ) Sweater looks beautiful! Posted by: limedragon :-: Harriet at April 15, 2006 7:09 AMLove the sweater! I start every day w/my coffee to tune into your site to see what you've whipped up. Now, if you can tell your secret to knitting so quickly, I'd be forever greatful! Tks for the constant pics of projects & the boys! Posted by: Leslie at April 15, 2006 9:17 AM |
