Things that interfere with knitting

There really only needs to be one thing here:
Studying for the EPPP

How else can I explain why it took me since June 25 (!!!) to knit a simple one skein garter stitch and short row shawl?

I'm a little ashamed.

But apparently it was worth hanging in there for almost 3 months. I'm pleased with the outcome.

And hopefully the recipient will be too! 

Now off to find an appropriate shawl pin and package this little goody up!

Next: resume the Magnanimity Cardigan in a lovely shade of goldenrod. I've already got the pocket squares/swatches knit and have 6 rows of the ribbed hem complete. (This one is for me!)

The EPPP? Well, I took it. Waiting for results. While I wait, ample knitting time!
