On the Other Side

Happy New Year!  Yeah, a little late but the last couple of months have been no fun.  I had illness on top of illness.  One illness aggravated another which was not helpful.  I was actually so down and out that for a few weeks I didn't want to knit.  I laid in front of the television and watched sitcom reruns.  Which I did enjoy doing. I'm a sitcom junkie. We also managed a trip to Disney World over Christmas break.  I was lucky to be having a good week that week.  Now, 2 months later, I am finally on the other side and feeling back to myself. 

Feeling better brought back my knitting mojo and off I went.  I knit a lovely pair of socks from yarn and a pattern that I won on turtlegirl76's blog. The yarn is Artsygal in colorway Froglegs and the pattern is Everyone Outta the Pool.

 

I love these socks but I really have too many and I've decided to give away most socks I knit this year.   I reserve the right to keep a few :)  These are going to a friend that told me about her chiropractor.  He is the best and the back pain I've been struggling with for the last 5 years is almost gone!  She deserves more than socks.

I've also started more socks (self striping from Twisted Limone), and a shawl (with my Wollmeise) but I don't have pictures of those yet.  And lastly, I've been working hard to finish up the sweater I was knitting for my husband.  I finished it yesterday and it fit great, except it is 2-3 inches too short!  So much for careful measuring.  So later today I will be using this method to fix it.  Pictures to follow when I can get him to pose...with the new length.
