Sick, Now With Knitting

February 11, 2010 By Carole

Happy Knitting resized for blog

As you can surmise from the title, I am still feeling poorly, but at least I am feeling strong enough to knit. Hooray! Last week the Mondo Cable Pulli was boring. This week it is the perfect project for a convalescent knitter. Lots and lots of stockinette in the round is about the only thing I can handle at this point and this sweater will see the benefit of that.

I’m feeling a bit of cabin fever at this point. I suppose that’s a good thing and maybe I’ll be ready to get out of the house in a day or so.

I’ll keep you posted.

    🙂 It is a little boring, isn’t it? Are you doing the A-line increases? I have heard different opinions about them.

    Blargh. Blargh, I tell you! That is the sound of a sick knitter’s soul. I hope you feel better soon, keep resting up and hopefully you’ll be back to your usual self soon.

    Hope you are back to normal soon! In the meantime, knit as much as you can and relax. It’s cold and snowy outside anyway!

    I’m glad you’re at least feeling well enough to knit–that’s definitely something! Feel better, Carole.

    Good to hear that you’re starting to feel better. St st is the perfect thing for convalescence.

    Glad you have a capable daughter and hubby to take care of you. Hope you’re on the mend soon.

    Knitting and cabin fever are both very good signs.

    I’d say you’re definitely on the mend… just in time for the Knitting Olympics.

  16. Sara says

    February 11, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    It’s a good thing to be able to knit! I hope you will feel totally better in the next day or so.

    Glad to hear you are feeling better. Knitting simple things always the best in these times. Hope your recover quickly from here on out!

  18. Patty says

    Glad you’re feeling better Carole! Hillary’s lemon chicken popped up on your blog today – I’ve been thinking about making that lately – I guess I got the go ahead!

    Sounds incrementally better. Hope it proceeds faster as the weekend gets here.

    I can give you some coaster patterns if you like! They are excellent convalescent knitting, and you knock them off quickly so you feel like you accomplished something even though you feel like crap.

  21. Birdsong says

    February 11, 2010 at 5:51 pm

    Here’s hoping you are healthy enough to enjoy Valentine’s Day and the holiday weekend!

  22. Suzanne says

    Can’t wait to see the sweater. I hope to start one in March. I hope you keep feeling better and better.

    Don’t rush recovery, Carole. Whatever bug is out there this year, it seems to linger. Glad you’re feeling well enough to make headway on the sweater.

    Feel better! xoxo

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
