tasks completed last week

Hi,
I'm trying to make a smart list that shows me tasks I completed last week. I already have a list to show me tasks completed the current week:
list:Work AND status:completed AND completedWithin:"1 week of Sunday"
How can I modify this to show last week's tasks? I've tried using completedWithin:"last week" but it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks!

kimberly, unfortunately it's not currently possible to reference something like 'last Sunday' (which I think is what would be needed to make this work) -- it only knows when the upcoming Sunday will be.
If anyone can think of anything creative that might work, please feel free to post (I've seen a number of creative queries posted here that I would never have thought of myself :)

This is maybe a long shot, and I don't really have a good way of testing, but how about something like:
status:completed
AND completedWithin:"2 weeks of Sunday"
AND NOT completedWithin:"1 week of Sunday"
if this works, technically it would grab items completed in the weeks before and after the current week, but unless you are completing items in the future, it just may be a solution.

erik, this is an awesome idea -- very creative!
I tried this out in my account with:
status:completed AND completedWithin:"2 weeks of Sunday" NOT completedWithin:"1 week of Sunday"
(exactly the same, just taking out the 'AND' directly before the 'NOT')
It's showing all tasks completed from Mon 25th Sep to Sun 1st Oct inclusive, which looks right to me -- thanks for sharing this great solution.
