Fun with Yarn

I've been sick for the past 5 days.  I'm still under the weather a bit, but I finally found the idea medicine cocktail today and felt like I was miraculously cured.  It was AMAZING the difference I felt in such a short amount of time.  All of a sudden, I was overwhelmed with energy - I could breathe and talk again, I felt like getting up off the couch, I wanted to go outside, I wanted to do everything.  It felt so good to feel better.

So, after my husband talked me out of doing anything crazy, and after my failed attempt to get a manicure (I need it so bad too, but who would think that the salon would be closed on Sunday?), I decided to get crazy and dig out some knitting projects that have been languishing for a year plus.  It was so much fun to dig out the sweater I've been making for over a year, and see how close I am to being finished.  I sat on the couch and knit for about an hour.  I forgot how enjoyable it is to knit.  Now I'm re-enthused to dig into my knitting projects again.  What fun!

  1. The nail places around here are closed on Sunday's too - which seems to be the only day I actually think about doing something like that.

    I haven't tried to knit since a very failed attempt to learn many years ago. I keep thinking I should try again. And then I think about my cats and how much fun they would have with the yarn and I decide it's a bad idea.

    Glad you are feeling better enough to have some fun picking up an old project. Pictures when complete?

  2. Glad you're feeling better. And I agree - I want to see pictures when you finish! I don't know how to knit, but maybe it will inspire me to finish some of my sewing and DIY projects...

  3. You reuniting yourself with your knitting reminds me that I have a pile of half finished sewing projects that are nagging me to get finished... Maybe tomorrow!
