Veteran’s Day holiday was the pits! I continued to run a low grade fever all day and my throat hurt like heck. My husband took the day off too, but I was too sick to enjoy his company, so he went to the movies without me. He thoughtfully brought me home a small buttered popcorn and I watched “The Princess Diaries Two” on my TV at home while I ate my popcorn. The holiday wasn’t a total loss. I spent the majority of the day knitting on my Surprise Jacket and listening to Knitting podcasts as I sipped hot liquids and throat lozenges. I hate being sick!
Today, I still wasn’t quite well, so I called in to my work and took a sick day off. My throat is a little better, but now my nose is running and I’ve started a little cough. However, fever and headache are better. I’ve been busying my self doing laundry and inventorying my new stash.
I have to admit that I feel a little guilty. I have been gazing at my wall of yarn in our spare bedroom and I’m contemplating why I bought this yarn. This is what I bought a few weeks ago at Newton’s Parking Lot Sale. I guess I just could not resist a bargain at $3 a pound. This is what I bought…..
4 hanks of brushed wool/rayon lace weight

Lt Yellow 1 lb 2 oz
I had dreams of making sweaters, shawls and baby clothes
That is approximately 20 lbs of sweaters, shawls and baby clothes that will take me forever to knit. I can always ply some of this yarn to use it up faster.
As I was just about to enter my stash data on Ravelry, the door bell rang. It was the UPS man with my order from Knit Picks. The yarn I ordered to knit my husband a cardigan arrived. It is a lovely blue. I am adapting a pattern I found from the Lionbrand website, changing a vest into a cardigan.
The other surprise was that my most desired book “The Opinionated Knitter” arrived with it. I can’t wait to read it. Well, I imagine this should keep me very busy for a long time.
