blither blather
I'm lying on the couch with a nasty stomachache. Is this karma for manufacturing a childhood illness for my daughter the other day so I could take a much-needed day off work? Ugh. Oddly, the warm laptop on my tummy is soothing, a modern-day hot water bottle of sorts.
I think I've figured out how to make the coveted sweater or a reasonable facsimile. I hope 500 yards is enough. If not, maybe I could make the ribbed portion of the sleeves a contrasting color. I can't even begin to look at it until January though.
New Knitty!!! Here are my must-knits:
Tempting II
How adorable is Jenna Adorno? I think I have a knit-crush on her.
Tubey
One word. Rock.
blu
Just add one adorable tot!
Danica
Scarf Lust.
Spike
And more scarf lust!!
And Wendy's Boogietime is genius! I wish I had time to make one for my son before xmas, but alas. Maybe in time for his birthday!
Ok, back to curling up in a fetal position. Wah.
That's a lot of knitting, mais non?
