Knitting and Knitting and Knitting

I've been working on my Ravellenic Cardi and I'm past the decreases of the body.  I'm working even right now and I've got a little more to go before I start increasing again.  As you can see, I'm using lots of markers.  Lots and lots of markers, so I don't get lost or confused and if I do, I can find my place again quickly.  I've also cut apart the pattern and made a Really Big Chart.  (For several reasons, this pattern just has too much going on to get it into KnitCompanion, so I'm working it with paper.)  All of this seems to be working, except when Max comes to "help."  He chases the needles, attacks the yarn, and sits in the middle of the chart and purrs.  I don't think he's helping me very much.

I'm still more than 24 hours ahead of my goal at this point and hope to stay that way!
