Blah......

All this illness has left me rather blah. Understandable, I suppose, but blah, nonetheless.

The Citron shawl is goig well. I love, love, love the color!!

The socks I have been knitting for a friend were not making me happy. I brought them with me to work last night and yep, they are HUGE and I was knitting them on a 2. I hit my stash and came up with a fingering yarn and I will start over tonight. Bugger!!!

Our laptop is still ill which has me totally pissed off.

This iPad is fine for some stuff, but not all stuff. Glad I didn't pay for it.

Have a great weekend and as always, happy knitting!

Citron....

Well, it's work in progress Wednesday. There isn't much getting done at the moment. I am still wrestling with being vertical for long periods of time. I pray that I am on the mend.

I am going to be knitting Citron, a sweet shawl from Knitty and can be found on Ravelry.

I did manage to start dinner preparations before I go and have a little lie down.

I am going of have to figure out how to get pictures onto the iPad because I have given up on my husband fixing the laptop.

I had a Wollemise drive by and it just somehow landed in my lap. Some pink and grey are headed my way. I thought a reward for surviving the germ infestation was in order. If hubby complains, it could have been worse, it could have been jewelry!

Happy Knitting!

Tuesday.......

Wow, Tuesday already! Time sure does fly when one is still ill and spends most of the time vertical. I so want to say I'm on the mend, but honestly, at the moment, optimism isn't holding much weight for me.

I did rally and go to work on Sunday and wore my new shawl. I love it so much!!! Still no laptop, so no pictures. Here is the link to my project page on Ravelry so you can take a peek.

I am still working on some socks. I have another shawl and yarn all ready to rock and roll. I went completely out of my comfort zone and am doing it in a summery color. The pattern is called Citron and it can be found on Ravelry.

Happy Knitting!

Somewhat vertical...

Greetings from a somewhat vertical position. I did manage to crawl out of bed and take a shower...this was progress.

At this momemt my husband is in the dog house. He was a the ER last week and he had bronchitis and decided he didn't need to take the medication that the doctor ordered for him....I mean really, then why go to the flipping ER. So I am pissed about that. Now he thinks he has pneumonia and frankly, I asked if his life insurance was paid up, because I thought I just might choke the life out of him.

Last night he told me he thought he was sicker. I was thankful that I owned no firearms. He also asked if I needed anything, I gave him 4 items to get, he came back with 3....I mean really.

Today I sent him out for Tylenol, he forgot to get it. I am no longer speaking to him and have moved into the guest bedroom for fear that I might actually hurt him.

I am sure that all of this is too much information, but if I didn't vent, lives would be forever changed. And the thought of solitary confinement sounds great right now, I suspect they don't let you take your stash and knitting needles with you.

I hope to be up and knitting again real soon.

Happy Knitting!

Done.....

It is done!!!!! I finished the bind off this morning. It is beautiful. I didn't feel up to blocking it, due to the black plague that seems to be attached to me.

Hubby did something to the laptop and now I can't get on my blog from there, which means no pictures...big bummer.

Health wise, I am down and out again and just called into work sick! Yep, that sick. Basically, I just flipping give up!

I will work on my friends socks for now.

Happy Knitting!!

Almost done....

Update..... 4:17 pm
One more row and then the bind off....then the pictures. Have regained my composure and am knitting calmly.

More later...

Vibrating........

Quick update...I am done with the increases in the pleat and have a whopping 721 stitches to bind off. I have 3 more rows to do and I am sitting here vibrating in complete anticipation of wearing this.

I refuse to shower or get dressed until I am ready to bind off.

Got to get back to these REALLY LONG ROWS!!!!!!

More later......
