Croak, Croak

Health update: I think I'll be okay as long as I a) do not talk, b) do not laugh and c) keep drinking rum toddies. It is a slightly flawed plan, so I have stocked up on Halls Soothers. We are also on our third day of curly kale soup - it is my first time cooking this soup which was one of my great-grandmother's special dishes and I'm happy with the result although I'm going to tweak my recipe a tiny bit to make it a bit more like my nan's - and hopefully all those fresh veg will also make a difference.

Knitting update: I have stalled on the first sleeve of Dave's pullover and am seven rows away from finishing my shawl's Chart B. Onwards, ever onwards. I am still pondering NaKnitSweMoDo (interNational Knit a Sweater a Month Dodecathon) for next year although both my knitting group and my beloved claim I will grow bored and whiny. We shall see. It depends upon the stash.

General update in the form of one link: These literary clutch bags make my heart go all a-flutter although I am most definitely not a clutch bag girl. They combine so many of my loves: books, paratextuality, craft, things handmade and geekdom. Be still my heart.

Also, I'm getting a bit nostalgic about the noughties almost being done and dusted, so expect wallowing entries in the near future.

  1. Your health is definitely improving. Or maybe it’s the rum blogging :-) Can’t wait to see the skinnyboyfriendsweater.

  2. I don’t even know you, but I can assure you that you will get whiny….if you have any whiny tendencies at all, it will bring them out. Six weeks to go for me, and I am jumping out of my skin. I’m still glad I did it.

    Feel better, lots of soup and rest sounds like a great plan.

  3. @KM: Uhm, yes. Must knit sleeves first.

    @KV: I may have tiny, tiny whiny tendencies (esp. if sleeves are involved).
