... the chaos continues .....

i woke yesterday morning glassy-eyed, snotty, and puffy (i could feel the puffy coming on, ... possibly due to the parotid gland ?). my cheeks were red, and on one side, i looked like a deranged chipmunk! did i mention i can't hear anything (sorry neighbors for the blaring television !!!) ?

i went to work, with my semi-gameface on (it's hard to look with it when half your face looks like a pufferfish). i received a phone call about an hour in, a conference call ... an intervention. my friends were calling to cover my shift. to send me home. i have some great friends!

so, home i came. and home was all day. did i knit? ... some. did i watch movies? ... of course! and i sipped hot tea and surfed the net, perused my IK's and knitting library, especially ravelry.

i knitted some on my socken ... my pretty fuzzy mountain colors stockinette socken ....







i danced around the idea of casting on for IK's spiral boot socks.



i revisited wicked.









i wound some yarn.


and where am i now? hmmm .... still on the sofa, wrapped in my quilt, contemplating the socks vs. the squares .....


... and contemplating breakfast, as i have to go to work today. sniff ...!

I do hope your feeling better! My kids have been fighting a nasty cold the past couple of weeks.
What a bunch of wonderful friends you have. And that is one lovely sock that you have.
Your squares are making me want to start a lizard ridge blankie something fierce!

didn't you already cast on for those spiral boot socks and then reject them? was that the yarn's fault and not the pattern's?
