Let me get you up to speed.
Are you in the general vicinity of Toronto? Yes? than you know that EVERYBODY is sick right now, and although I am sick I am functioning just fine, but the kids, Ewwwww. The flu has hit hard, with it comes lots of fevers, headaches and vomitting. NO FUN. I stayed home with them today to help nurse them back to better strength. Most of my office, and friends are sick also. Blah. Take your vitamins people and get lots of rest.
Onward...
The problem with this sweater for Rachel is that Its a surprise, and I cant work on it when she is around. So here I am
Just finishing the back panel. But I still have faith. Lots of time left. 7 days is plenty. (*ahem, shifts nervously in seat) No worries.
In all fairness I lost most of last week because I was knitting this
Its a wrap for my mom. I couldnt post about it until I gave it to her. And I was knitting madly to get it done for her for yesterday, She had some surgery done on her knee, and I really wanted her to be able to have this wrap to keep her cozy when she got home. Its 100% baby Alpaca and its so soft its sinful. I really wanted to keep this, but we do amazing things for love.
Oh, so do you notice who is modeling that wrap. Yep, thats me, whats with the hair??? Yes friends, I am no longer blonde. I wanted to try something different, something classic and feminine but easy to take care of ....
Wow, It still doesnt look like me. But I am in love with the cut and colour,. Better pictures in the near future.
So, to sum things up. I am still knitting more than ever, and still being the most productive I have been in ages, but still having doubts about my deadline.
Oh and Karyn, guess what, I started a pair of socks today when I was home with the girls!!!! YEP SOCKS!! I couldnt work on my secret knitting so I took out "socks soar on two circular needles" and got going. Heres what I managed in between cooking dinner and filling up little orange juice cups for my patients.
Licorice the cat is helping me show you this sock, and wouldnt get out of the picture.
Well, off to knit the sweater now that the girls are tucked into bed.
click, clack, click, clack, click, clack............... To be continued.

This hair makes you look younger - good change!
Sock, ha? Great! I used to refuse to knit socks, but now ... can't wait for new pair!
Flu ... I know what you are talking - almost the same happened month ago. Wish your girls get better! |
