Monday Meandering

I’m finally feeling better, but won’t be allowed back to work until Thursday. Fine. I can deal with that, although it won’t at all help my feeling of being hopelessly behind. After sleeping almost straight through for 36 hours I should be caught up on my sleep too. I’ll reserve judgment on that account. I am sure I will be back to my normal sleep deprived self before I know it.

Meanwhile, I have a couple of extra days of knitting before me. I really hope that it doesn’t continue like this evening’s endeavor went, which was something like this. Read the pattern. Figure out how many rows need to be done in a certain pattern. Mark off each row. Get to next section and misread the pattern, thinking that I had overshot by four rows. Rip back four rows. Reread pattern. Realize that I was correct in the first place and reknit the four rows that I just tinked back. Sigh. Maybe sleep was too much of a good thing.

While I was lying in bed last night, feeling miserable and quite sorry for myself, I found myself looking around and spied my old bunny from my childhood. My mom made him for me and somewhere I actually have a pattern for making one of my own. Perhaps if Operation De-clutter works out as planned this year, I might even unearth the darn thing. My kids have been doing some tossing of stuff on there own, and there have been items that I have snuck away and kept, because I know they will regret it at a later date. Not everything by any means, but a few things

Today’s photo is a glimpse of my new project, as well as this cool gourd container that a good friend of mine gave me for Christmas. The perfect container for my stitch markers!
