True to my word I sat down Friday morning (took all of Thurs evening to decide on a pattern- such a huge decision!) to knit up the promised dishcloth. Both girls were sick with a nasty cold-cough-fever-achey thing so we decided to rent some movies off of iTunes to pass the time and I figured this would be the perfect time to sit, knit and keep an eye on them. (BTW, loved Meet the Robinsons!)
Wouldn’t you know it, about 3/4 of the way through my dishcloth I started getting that nasty feeling in my lungs and within a few more hours was totally laid out with the same thing. Yuk!
The entire weekend was spent lying down, coughing and moaning through the pain, with the girls by my side doing the same Saturday, and my dear husband catering to our every need. It’s now Monday afternoon and after having slept in until 11 today I’m beginning to come around. Thankfully the girls are both fine and even made it to school. My brain still isn’t fully functional and everytime I look at the dishcloth pattern I feel totally overwhelmed. I WANT to finish it but it seems like such a big job. Of course I’ve also been staring at my empty water glass for the last 15 minutes wondering how that’s going to get resolved.
Maybe I’ll just go back to bed. Another 14 hours of sleep should do the trick!
It’s a coffee cup. I’ll link the pattern as soon as I remember how.
Oh I’m sorry to hear you’re so sick. I’m glad your girls are feeling better and made it to school. Hope you got some more rest today. You’re so close to being finished your dishcloth, I’m sure it won’t take long once you’re feeling 100% again.
Oh, get better soon! Your washcloth looks great, but sometimes you really do need to sit (or lay) and not do anything; not even knit!
I know it was hard for me to move away from my family & friends when I moved to Florida (which doesn’t even remotely compare to your trans-atlantic move)…you’ll come back in a couple years, though & we’ll all be here waiting!
