scissors + knitting= good times

this is how the v-neck looked at about 5:30 in the morning on saturday.  i had a touch of insomnia plus that whole "i'm so freakin' close to being done" so, i knit on into the wee hours of the morning.  and then i decided, since i was up and all, i should just do the steeks.  i used some spare Rowan Kid Classic that was in my odds-n-ends stash (left over from the scarf that G knit himself), whipped out the crochett hook and got all the crochetting done for the steeks.  and then, i did perhaps the most insane thing of my knitting carreer:  at 7:30 in the morning, nearing my 24 hour of wakefulness, i whipped out the tiny sharp scissors and cut the steeks on this bad boy. and......SUCCESS!!!!  lovely and all cut up and no mishaps!  whooot!!  i've started the neck edging, but i had the damnedest time picking up stitches evenly yesterday (i had a bad case of the wah wahs brought on about by the wonky sleep schedule).  after 5 (FIVE) attempts i finally got it right.  so, had i not been retarded, this would be done by now.  i'm feeling sharper today however, so i have faith it'll be done and blocking very very soon.
