Mood: chillin'
Now Playing: "Never A Time" by Genesis
I have spent the entire weekend with a cold, which means no visits to my father. But I'm sure he understands as they don't need me bringing a cold to the nursing home!
What I have done is start a pair of socks. I need something easy and mind numbing to do, as I can't take cold meds (they will kill my stomach). So, I cast on for a pair of socks in a pink/white/cranberry/brown Regia that I picked up at Webs on Monday, along with some 12" Addi Turbos, and two Joy bobbins for my wheel. I cast on 70 stitches, knit for about 3 inches, and decided that they were too big. And after some coaching from Cath, the Scullery Maid and Claudia, I ripped out what I had done (complete with picot edging, inspired by the two ladies mentioned above), and started over with 60 stitches, knit for 7 rows, did the YO, K2Tog, and then 7 more rows, to form the picot edge. I'm happier with this sock, and have a couple of inches done.
I did have a quiet evening last night, as DH took Nate over to my SIL's surprise birthday party (Cal stayed home with me). Today, DH is taking the kids to his family reunion. I would go, but they don't need me sneezing over everything. I am on the downside of the cold, but it's also windy and chilly outside, which I don't need. The sooner I get my health back, the sooner I can go see my Dad, and start working again.
