Still getting well

Spent 3 hours at Urgent Care yesterday to take care of the sinus infection that took over from my head cold virus of last week. My doctor was a neighbor I hadn't met yet. Very nice guy. I love doctors who take the time to explain their treatment reasoning.
The shot I got and the sinus medicine kept me up all night. I would have thought I'd have finished more with all the hours I spent knitting. I guess I just picked things that are slow going. I finished a Dream Swatch and have done a fair amount on one of my son's flame socks. Finally. I was afraid to start the intarsia part of the sock. I am pretty happy with it, but have decided I need to do a little color work on the flames. The orange and red are varigated yarns. I am not as happy as I thought I'd be when I picked them out, at least for this project. I think I am going to try to hand paint the edges of the orange and red parts of the flame just for accent. I still have a way to go before I am ready for that step.My Noro Aurora Dream Swatch
Here are my Noro Rainbow Peasant socks. Just one more heel to go...

Sick Day

Took the day off to go to the doctor today. Yay, maybe I'll get better now. With a little help from Azithromycin. Having a fever the last eight days was a royal pain.
I spent a little time with my circular sock knitting machine. I am trying some feltable sock yarn to make a few little bags for things like cameras and cell phones.
I am getting to the end of the sleeves for my Drop Stitch T-Shirt sweater. I am nervous to drop the stitches and bind off by myself. Perhaps I'll search the web for a tutorial and try it anyway. I just have to decide exactly how long I want the sleeves.

Thought I had to get ready for my mobius class tomorrow, but it is cancelled for the time being. Nancy will be having her anniversary event later this summer when I'll be at camp in New York. I have a class planned at Old Forge Hardware in July. Anyway Designer Hand Knits is having their sale tomorrow. There just won't be the number of classes and events Nancy had in the past. Her anniversary sales/event is so fun! I hope I don't miss it when she does have it.

This week was Spirit Week at our school. My son thought this was a good representation of a nerd for Nerd day. I think it's a little over the top for a nerd. What do you think?

Friday at Last!

We made it through the week. My son came down with a bug on Monday and had a fever til Wednesday. The rest of us picked up varying degrees of the bug, but managed to make it through our work/school week without missing any days. Rehearsal for the play at school is getting pretty intense so my daughter can't miss any rehearsals. I'm glad she felt well enough to carry on. I am really glad we got home to rest. I took a nap from 5ish to 7ish before fixing everyone chicken noodle soup and cornbread. This afternoon was damp and cool...not at all like our normal weather. Soup for dinner was just the ticket.
Worked more on my entrelac bag. I have to figure out the brioche stitch for the back now. Am finishing the other tan sock now. All the knitting is done, now just the kitchenering.
