I can Blog again!
Now if only I didn't have to breathe through my mouth...
I hope to post some progress pics tomorrow from my night of television knitting. Thank goodness I got that knit-a-thon in while I could - I haven't been able to knit, read, or watch tv for 3 days. Stunning isn't it? A head cold the beautiful doctor informed me. Ah, yes. Of course. Not humiliating enough to look as haggard as possible, I must also appear to be an imbecile who doesn't recognize the symptoms of the common cold. Seriously though - I could have sworn it was something much worse. I have been sleeping for 3 days and you should see the bags under my eyes - why is that? (Also - this used to be a 3 doctor kind of town and this is about the 4th time I have caved into going to the Walk In Clinic only to be seen by a young, incredibly handsome doctor I have never met before. What the??! The cruelty of it.)
If we are lucky, the recipient of the Anemoi Mittens will be here for a fitting tomorrow. Right now it is snowing and she does live at the top of a rather treacherous hill...so we might have to wait a day or two.
Until then here are some more things my Mother has made - one day I will break down and help her set up her own Blog! But isn't this just easier?
She created a bank for our Preschool's Coin Drive to help Restore Stanley Park - cleverly using some of our own downed tree bits from the windstorm and windswept lettering.
And somehow I failed to post a pic of the Cookie Monster Style Tea Cozy she made over the holidays. I have really appreciated how long it keeps the tea hot these last few days. It is amazing how restorative a diet of tea and popsicles can be!
And here you have this incredible yarn from Yarn Rescue, ordered mere days before the start of Stashalong.
As I opened the package my fever addled brain said "Oh no! I ordered Roving." and I nearly teared up. Fortunately logic is making a return and I thought, wait. look again. before dissolving in tears. The things exhaustion can do to you! Exhaustion after 3 days of sleep yet?!
Had it been roving I would have had to send it off as a reward. Sadly, it is yarn and I will be forced to knit something gorgeous and utterly selfish from it. It will be difficult I am sure. Somehow I will have to do it. I will not be able to wait until it is appropriate for Project Spectrum 2 however - that is too much willpower.
Feathers. They have feathers woven into the yarn. Or is it spun into the yarn?
Earlier I mentioned not being able to read. I FINALLY received my Barnes and Noble shipment with the next 2 months of
Knit The Classics selections. Why, why does this months choice have to be over 600 pages long?! I despair of catching up.

Gosh, a head cold is something so very painful - I'm sending lots and lots of positive vibes and thoughts over across the ocean, hope you'll be feeling much better soon!
Your Mom is doing some seriously beautiful work - what a great idea it'd be to really set up a blog for her to share her work with us! Yay for that!
Dang girl, I had no idea you were this sick. I am so sorry and hope you recover soon! My daughter had this too, recovering but sounding hoarse still. Nothing like having to see a goodlooking doc when you you feel like heck:)
