mess with the chart -- Though it would make a lovely cozy wrap, I don't really want to keep increasing six times every other row forever... I'll rut out of yarn before the shawl is long enough to be worth while. So, I'm backing down to four increases every other row, and keeping the center back section stable from here on. That'll create more of a Faroese shape, and I'm awfully fond of those.

Meanwhile, Kitty's been doing some amazing stuff. As the result of ... a ... unique challenge at school, she switched her schedule around, and finally got into Treble Choir. The day before the music department's first concert (all the choirs did a couple of numbers). In those 30 hours, she got new music, and memorizedKnit Night with The Divine Though Blogless Elizabeth. (though Erin may bring one of her sweaters along for the fun). I'll take pictures.

As anticipated, we drove to St. Louis yesterday -- because today Bookworm had a slew of tests.

We entered St. Louis in a brutal storm. At first, it was just a little cloudy, then it was like driving past a curtain -- it was light, and then it was not. I turned on my lights, and watched the trees whipping around in the wind. After several miles, it started to rain. And then ... well, the sky just fell in. The rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't see to drive faster than about 35. That's not a good speed on the highway
