So close

I'm in the final stretch for one of my projects from the Malabrigo Book 4, the Abalorio circular shawl.
It's the lovely end point, where even though the final 8 rows have 576 stitches, I have been knitting like crazy. There is a knitting group I go to on Friday night, and last Friday, I had 9 rows left, the final increase -taking it to 576 stitches- with another 8 rows and the bind off.
Since then, in addition to painting my daughters room, I am currently on the last row.

It's that crazy end of project enthusiasm. I've been working on a scarf for my husband for almost a year, really I started it last January, or maybe even January 2012? If I spent the amount of time knitting on that as I have this shawl, it'd be done in another three days. I mean the scarf is 24 stitches wide, so if I did only 576 stitches a day that would be 24 rows a day, which would amount to almost 5 inches. But I'm in the middle of it, and I don't have the motivation.

Well, I will be finishing the shawl tonight (sorry, no pic yet, it's a Christmas present for a friend), then I have a pair of mittens to make for my daughter, and then I WILL work on my husband's scarf. I should be able to get it done by Christmas... I hope. I've decided that I'm not going to buy any new yarn until January. We'll see how that goes.
