Especially when you don't even feel like knitting. Some sort of fall flu has taken hold of me these past few days. I'm just now coming back to the land of the living.
You know how, when you're really stressed with work and life and stuff, you wish you could just have a few days to yourself? Perhaps a little cold that forces you to stay in bed all day? Somehow I never remember that in real life, anything that sends you to bed for a day or two is just no fun at all. It stinks.
And you know it is bad when you don't feel like eating or knitting! I think I slept for 40 of the 48 hours of Sunday and Monday, and a good portion of today. I don't know what I would do without the amazing Amanda to cover the shop for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
I am slowly getting back to normal. Checked in with Ravelry. Did a little paperwork. Now for blog catch-up! I don't have lots to report due to the situation outlined above, but there were a few good pics of Saturday's KAL kickoff on my camera.
Mary Ellen's knit-alongside Susie Hoodie - check out that cable!
Donna's knit-alongside Cropped Cardi in Chunky Baby Alpaca. ( I had to take a picture of all the red yarn in her basket. It was just too beautiful!
Michelle swatched! Really! She did it! And it was perfect! Not to bad for the first swatch for your very first sweater. (On Thursday, she is going to learn to cable!)
Barbara's cables are looking beautiful.
Look what Pam (purple yarn) and Adrienne (red yarn) accomplished in just a couple hours:
Dianne was on to her cables and doing great. She has already decided to have a zipper put in her CPH.
Lesley was zipping through the rib as well. You'd think that 4 " of rib would take forever, but this pattern really works up quickly.
I think Terri is furthest along. We're trying to convince her that SHE needs to keep this sweater. That blue will look amazing on her!
That's all the updates for now. I'm off to find dinner for the boys so I can get them to bed early and collapse myself. Watch out world - tomorrow, I'm BACK!
