Let's Do The Time Warp Again!

Dateline: May, 2006. It is raining and The Sheep does not feel well. Her truck has decided to react to the wet weather (and possibly a slug of bad gas) by refusing to run smoothly and periodically bucking like a rodeo bronc. The Sheep hides in her home and screws up a sock.


It's Deja Vu all over again. While I feel considerably better than yesterday and certainly better than I did in May, I'm still considering this my "time of rest." The truck made known it's dislike of the rainy weekend by returning to it's cranky ways. This is not good since I really don't have the time right now to get this dealt with and I've already doled out it's allowance for the year after this summers rack and pinion replacement. What last little touch might I add that would complete the recreation of my springtime experience?

Ah, yes! Let's cast on another sock. I mean, its not like we don't have umpty gajillion other things on the needles right now. So today we alternated between the Chevron Stripes Towel and a basic sock in Mountain Colors "Juniper."

Lots of knitting....nothing done. That is going to be engraved on my tombstone.

The sock yarn is from the goody bag sent by the ever generous April. It is a wool/mohair/nylon blend and will be the ultimate in snow-shoveling footwear when completed. After a little on-line research, I learned that there is a local retailer who sells this yarn! And if I time it right, there might even be a sighting of the elusive Noolie! This could be worth a little detour on the ride home some afternoon once we've settle the accounts this month!

The Fountain Lace vest remains on hold until I have fully recovered from the plague and the dangers of knitting while under the influence of cold medications has passed. Fear not, my 12 loyal readers...your patience will be rewarded. (notice how I've updated my "loyal readers count" to reflect the most current data. The Sheep is nothing if not on top of things) I'm thinking that upcoming long weekends and holidays might be more conducive to completing this project given the focus I'm going to need to follow the pattern.

Otherwise, my weekend of rest continues and seems to be paying off. I slept the night through and the cough seems to be diminishing. The snufflies seem to be responding more appropriately to the medications and I now feel better as a result of taking them rather than just sleepy and stupid. It is a triumph of modern medicine! The Sheep will live to knit another day!

Good thing, because I suspect the truck is going to give me an "interesting" commute tomorrow.
