Sick Knits

Fever...chills...headache...sounds like a miserable winter illness huh? Nope - that was my week this week. I don't know what I caught but it knocked me out flat for most of the week - Tuesday night through Friday my day was spent either curled in a miserable ball in bed or curled out on the couch when I could stand light and noise. I have the feeling I caught something at the pool but there is really no telling. So that is why I have been M.I.A. for most of the week with posts.

While I was sick I did a little bit of knitting when I could stand to do something. Since I didn't have a lot of energy I needed something easy and taking a pointer from my mom and her new knitting class, I did a few dishcloths - just something kind of mindless that would help me pass the time on the couch (while my house WASN'T getting cleaned)

The first is a cute little watermelon dishcloth - I plan on going back and sewing on 'seeds' and I still need to weave in my ends on this one

The next is the 'classic' knit dishcloth and I added a little crocheted loop on the end so I can hang it up to dry.

So nothing exciting, but what can I say? I was near death. I am in search of something new to start. I have a sock pattern I am toying with but I don't know if I feel like starting a sock quite yet after the last 'sock'. So I am off to search patterns and watch the rain moving in - thank goodness. Our garden needs it!
