I’ve been absent from my blog lately.
Have you noticed?
I’m currently about 400 miles from home, in the house where I grew up. Mom had cataract surgery on Monday, and I came up to take care of her. The surgery went extremely well. The surgeon is pleased. All that has gone as fine as can […]
There are plenty of other things I should be doing, but my brain doesn’t seem to be functioning this morning. Probably has something to do with the split-shifts I’ve been pulling on the sleeping thing the last couple of days. You know, where you go to bed, fall asleep, then wake up a few hours […]
I showed the vine shawl (Dulcavina?) to Kristie yesterday afternoon when we got together, and she agreed. That black Malabrigo Lace is half the diameter of the other Malabrigo Lace, and that includes the gorgeous Tuareg that she’s knitting doing her test knit with. And it just doesn’t look right. We talked about the potential […]
The day started fine. Early. Too stupid early, but fine nonetheless. I had my day all planned out. Everything was going along just fine. Took my shower. All nice and clean. Started to clean out my ears, best time to get the guck out is when the ears are warm and damp. Pulled the cotton […]
I’m clearly still catching up on the sleep I missed last week. Gads. Do you, or have you ever, suffered from insomnia? For about ten years (well, maybe eight) I suffered from insomnia the second (or was it the third?) week of September every year. That was odd. I don’t know what caused it. I […]
As I told you the other day, before this flu thing hit me I finished up the Serpentine Mitts. At least, I thought I told you about that. Maybe I just thought about it really hard. It’s really hard to tell the difference when your brain’s full of snot. Anyway, I did finish them. Just […]
Though far from well, I guess I’m improving. We’ll say I don’t feel as poorly as I did the other day. I’m knitting again, and that’s always a good sign. Poor Dave is still trying to cough up a lung. If he doesn’t start improving soon, he’s agreed to go to the doctor. Thank you […]
My head is filled with snot. I can’t breathe, much less think. I have a fever. My eyes keep watering, because of the snot. I seem have that terrible bug that’s been going around. What’s even better, is Dave has it, too. I got it from him. Even Dave’s too sick to work, and that’s […]
It’s been a while since I shared any photos of the green shawl with you, mostly because though bigger, it really hasn’t changed in quite a while. But I finished off those last two rows last night, and started binding off. I’m getting close to the half-way point, and hope to get it done tonight. […]
Ravelry is definitely addicting. Most definitely looking forward to Friday when my Internet connection, thanks to Dave’s efforts, should be magically faster again.
Thanks to the slowness of the Internet connection, I’ve gotten quite a bit done on the third second forget-me-not sock. Only three repeats plus three rows left to do before the toe […]
