Not dead yet

I've been knocked on my butt by a cold for the past two weeks. First chest, then head. Usually it goes in the other direction for me.

I am ready to be healthy again. Really.

Then a funeral on Friday (sad) and Rhinebeck on Saturday (happy!) and running around yesterday. All of the above, I think, lengthened my recovery time.

I managed to get out of Rhinebeck without purchasing a single skein of yarn (I must have been sick), though my friend's mom

Aaaaaaanyway, I've been knitting, simple stuff mostly. Dierdre (rav link), which is going so quickly I've almost finished it before I have had a chance to post about it.

Also, Ryan's cowl out of the schoppelwolle.

I think I'm going to go lie down now. Which honestly, has been my state of existence for a while. At least I have kitten antics to keep me entertained.

Story and photo re: Rhinebeck to follow when I have more energy.

  7. Two weeks is a long time to feel crummy. I'm glad it didn't keep you from Rhinebeck. Does this illness have anything to do with having a kindergartner?

  8. So sorry you're not feeling well! I sympathize...the four members of my little family have been passing around an awful cold for almost a month and a half now! A couple of people have had it twice, unless it's a second cold gracing us with its presence. :( Anyway, get some rest and I hope you are able to knit a little while you're down.
