Things are sunshiney good, and I've still got to do dishes ...


Okay so you are some very kind people, having any sympathy for my burned polka dot on my finger. I promise you, my finger is fine. It's a tiny boo -- not even a boo boo, just one boo. It's a little raw after dishes but other than that, it's pretty much forgotten and painless. (I'm always a bit raw and cranky after dishes and I can't wash with gloves, because I can't feel if the dishes are clean with them on. Weird?)

I even managed a few rows on my baby hat last night after it happened, before collapsing in a puffy cinnamon sugar crusted heap around midnight.

I've really got to get some more sleep.

That's not really a complaint as much as it is just a basic fact. Good sleep is important for good health. At least that's the story I'm buying today :)

Anyhow, it all doesn't matter, sleep or no sleep. Look what the sunshine brought? The fantabulous Dee, of Tangled up in Sticks and Strings sent me some of her Florida vibes in this beautiful hank of hand painted yarn. How cool is that?!? I love it! It makes me want to eat rainbow sherbert ice cream in a sugar cone though.

Mmmm Sherbert
Why do so many things make me want to knit and eat?

Dee made that stitch marker!
Knitting does seem to minimize my snacking though. Good sunshine combination? Iced coffee + Knitting. Oh yeah, they are BFFs.

Tomorrow is the day of the hump. Works in Progress Wednesday and I need to figure out which day I'm going to knit at lunch. I'm running out of days. If it's as pretty tomorrow as it was today, I will try to get outside with the yarn.

What about you, where is your knitting sweet spot these days?

  2. I am so glad that the yarn made it safely to your home. I hope you enjoy knitting with it. :-)

    I made a start on your Zauberball. DH decided the resulting socks should be for him. So plain vanilla pattern on a gorgeous blend of blues/purples. He recently lost his first pair of Zaubs to holes. Hopefully the new socks will help him get over the loss. LOL

    Hope you finger is all better by now. Happy knitting!

  5. I have NO KNITTING! I have yarn and patterns and plans, but right now at this very minute I have no knitting. This must be remedied at once. I'm glad the weather is good for outside knitting, it's always lovely to knit outside isn't it. Have a good day Ellen. CJ xx

  6. Love the yarn and the yummy colors.

    Yes, sleep is VERY important to good health - the voice of experience here. I had years of lousy sleep until I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Undiagnosed, it caused all kinds of other health issues. Get those ZZzzzs!
