Looking at changing up the blog and perhaps bringing it back in a different way.

Give me a month or so then come visit me again!

We are a house of sick people.

Kaiti kicked it off several weeks ago with extreme swollen glands and exhaustion. We still don’t have a confirmed diagnosis after what seems like a bazillion tests but the doctors tell us they are 99% sure she has Mono.

Did I mention her boyfriend isn’t feeling so great either?

Two days ago I suddenly and inexplicably developed chills, fever and a hacking cough. I am slightly better today, but missed worked yesterday. I’ve done nothing but sleep. Since you can’t actually get Mono more than once (I had it decades ago, when I was about 18 or 19 yrs. old), I don’t think I have Mono. I blame it on too much snow (and no sun) being closely followed by 19 straight days of FOG. And yes, I know it was sunny here yesterday but I slept through it.

The Hubby is suffering exhaustion from listening to me cough.

So like I said, nothing to see here… move along…

With sunshine, all things are possible…

(click for bigger pic)I did some weeding in the garden and it felt SO good to be out in the sun. I finally pulled myself in for a break (several times) and each time plunked myself down at the computer to look for more amazing lace on Ravelry. I am totally lost in lace knitting again, and I mean lost in a totally good way. It’s all I want to do (in or out of the sun)!

That could have something to do with the fact that I finally bought my very own copy of Victorian Lace Today. If you are a lace knitter or if you want to be a lace knitter, I highly recommend this book. It’s the perfect resource and not only are there gorgeous photos of lace, it’s also a really good read. I got mine when I FINALLY went out to visit one of my (sorta kinda) local yarn shops, 88 Stitches. It’s a lovely store and I spent an inordinate amount of time fondling yarns and dreaming of even more projects to add to my ever-growing list. They have Handmaiden yarns, and Berroco yarns and some linen that I’m feeling compelled to knit with, despite knowing my hands will complain loudly.

And today is World Wide Knit in Public day, but I’ve yet to knit at all. Guess I better, eh? Does knitting in my front yard count as knitting in public?

P.S. It seems I am very out of practice with blogging, but I think I finally corrected all the spelling and grammar errors.
