Can't stop knitting squares

I can't wait for my 5-hour plane trip to Boston next week.  What with the waiting in the airport ahead of time, that's at least 6 hours of knitting when I can't be reasonably expected to do anything else.  

Yesterday the 21 skeins of Cascade 220 arrived from Webs.  I completed my first mitered square for the Mason-Dixon Mitered Square Bedspread.  It takes me about 2 hours to knit one square, although I'm sure that will decrease as I learn the pattern by heart.  I only have about 100 of these squares to make in order to cover my queen size bed.  

That means, I can probably get 3 squares done on my flight out, and 3 squares on the flight back.  Plus the square I did yesterday.  The one I'm going to do tonight.  The 1-2 I'll do tomorrow.  That's already 10% of the squares for the bedspread DONE!!!!

Not to mention possible knitting time with Grandma and Emily.  It's OK to knit during a commencement address, right?
