Slow Progress

The good news of the day is that as of this evening Eric is back on his formula. We did go for a slow start but he is all smiles. It is my hope that his post viral asthma does not keep him up tonight.

I had a pretty good day today. I started on my pile of finishing work. The pair of slippers, 2 kerchiefs and mini wash cloth will be available at the Next Taglit Fundraiser for Eric's day program. Because of the I-cord on the scarfs you will notice my counter is up over 1000 more stitches on the million row challenge. I am also blocking 2 wash cloths (not counted yet) that will go in my Etsy store when they are dry.

Besides the finishing work I did get another square finished on Teri's blanket, that makes 193 squares done and some where around 50 to go plus the border. I am almost finished with another kerchief. I spent the night spinning small bits of fluff, mostly 1/4 ounces samples from my last Phat Fiber box. I even spent a few minutes cleaning in the craft room. We are having company in November and I am not sure they want to sleep in a bed of yarn and fluff. I need an early start. I can give them some closet space, but the drawers a full of yarn.

Tomorrow I will do some more finishing work with the goal of listing a few new items in my on line store. What would you like to see first hand spun yarn or hand knit items? I only have a small backpack full of things to be finished for tomorrow with most destined to be sold on line or at the next fundraiser.

While cleaning I found the pattern that I was looking for, so tomorrow I will pair it with the yarn. Well I think since Eric will be home again tomorrow I should get a little extra sleep tonight.

The Guys Shared and Other Things

I was going to write about how the guys shared their tummy bug with me. That I spent almost the entire day resting and playing with my drop spindles. I have spun up all but 2 samples of the Phat box I got Wednesday. The colors are just so lovely this month. John served up a really nice lunch and dinner. He can slice bagels with the best of them.  I also manage to finish the laundry or so I had thought.

Just as I was going to settle Eric in for the night, I noticed that Elmo was a bit damp. For just the smallest amount of time I thought that Elmo was just a little damp. Then I noticed that there was some white sticky stuff on Elmo. The first thing I did was turn off the pump and call the Calvary, in this case John with Eric's wheel chair. After the second complete change of the bed and Eric( that should read another 3 loads of laundry), it was time to get Eric settled in for the night. It was then I noticed how much my joints swelled over just a little tummy bug. At least I should be over most of it by Wednesday. 

I should soon find out if the surface wash only pillows I bought will stand up to the washer. I will not put it in the dryer. It will get lined dried along with Elmo. Tomorrow will be washing and folding central around here.

Well I am just about ready to call it a night. Now if I could just remember where I left the hand spun alpaca so I can knit my self some more fingerless gloves. If I was hand spun alpaca where would I be hiding?
