Catching up

I knit all day yesterday. I also had to make meals and keep the tea water hot.  Keith is sick and is not happy.  He is mostly working from home but beyond that even he is low on energy.  It wasn't just me.  It's the cold flu thing .  

I knit lots.  No new pictures though.  None of the knitting was enough to show a difference so old photos.  

I knit more on my striped top.  


I knit on my Kauni sweater.


And I dreamed of knitting with all the yarns I pulled on my last stash dive.  So many good things.

I also want to tell you I am wearing my London Fog sweater today.  I love this sweater.  I made it with the London Fog colourway of Midknit Cravings Comfort DK using Rebecca Clow's Tolsta pattern.  It's already something I want to wear everyday.  The fit is perfect and the way the yarn drapes is beyond fantastic.  It's a perfect pairing of pattern and yarn.  I highly encourage you to support both yarn dyer and pattern designer.  They are just made for each other.  

My current Midknit Cravings obsessions are their Drama Colourway and Homegrown.  Honestly the more I see their colours, the more I want.  Poor me.  

I am sitting this morning watching it snow and blow. There are drifts across the streets and the driveway.   It's a good day to knit something fuzzy and warm and that is just what I am going to do.

Springtime in Canada

There was knitting!!! 

It was so exciting to have enough energy to knit.  I only did a few rounds but it was liberating to be doing it again.  

Meanwhile, after a day of drizzly cool, we are now in the midst of wind and coming snow that could get up to blizzard conditions.  So.  Springtime in Canada.  Yeah.

Might Be Knitting

Not a stitch of knitting has been done around here for almost week.  For more days than I'd like to admit, I .  Did.  Not.  Care.  

I'm still coughing but my O2 levels are staying reasonable.  I have some energy again and I have not had to rely on my machine all day like I did Monday.  I still had a nap in the afternoon though so I have a way to go.  

Today, I have coffee.  I have some energy restored.  I have an itch in my fingers and there might be knitting.
