Update

I've gotten the poncho to a point where it's 17 inches long. I'm doing one more round so the bind off will be the way I want it, and then I'll be binding off and picking up the stitches for the hood. It looks like I may have gotten twice the yarn I'll need for this, so I can make another poncho, or something else entirely. I'll have to think about that.

Oh, and the SciFi Channel will be running "Eureka" all during the daytime on Mother's day (which also happens to be my Mom's birthday--I wish I could spend it with her) with their usual evening programming.
