Oh my

So I've been feeling pretty crappy for the past week and a half. Week 1 consisted of lots of nausea, dizziness and shivers. The rest of week has thus far consisted of a major headache. I figured it's the flu, but now I'm thinking I might be having a migraine. Not so much fun.

I have gotten so little knitting done its kinda scary...especially considering how behind I already am. The baby blanket is down to just one long and one short border to knit...and then the ends to weave. Why did no one warn me how absolutely maddening it is to weave in so many ends. A little bit of math for y'all: 5 x 4 blanket = 20 squares x 2 ends to weave on each = 40 plus all the ends of my sewing yarn plus borders ends = a very unhappy knitter. I'll give you a hint on whose next baby blanket will consist of a very long circular needle and one single large square/rectangle depending on patience and time restrictions.

For the rest of it, my plans for a simple 3 x 3 rib hat with acrylic yarn (its soft and practical for new moms) failed because I couldn't stand the squeaking sound of the yarn plus my plastic needles. See what happens when I try to be practical? Later.
