Hooray for wireless networks, sometimes

Our wireless hub frequently drives me nuts because it has to be unplugged and re-plugged several times a day, for whatever reason, however… when one is sick, it is really nice to be able to post on the laptop while sitting in bed, surrounded and supported by pillows and memory foam.

I was too sick to do a lot of knitting over the weekend, but I did finish Pete’s bag! Yup, you read that right, PETE’S BAG IS DONE!!!!! FINISHED!!!! POCKET AND EVERYTHING!!! The flag, the straps, the knots… it’s all done. I’m going to convince Nate to model for me so I can get a picture, and then I’m going to ship it off to Italy. Hallelujah!

Also, I’m about 8 inches into the sleeves of Vogue Cable Cardi. I’m working them both at the same time, and it’s going well. I am so excited for this cardigan. I haven’t even started the cables yet, which is the pretty part, but I’m loving the way it looks. I’m glad I used the Encore on this instead of Cable-Eight, which is what I originally bought it for. The down side is that although I am knitting the largest size, it is still going to be too small. I’m hoping it won’t be too too small, and the fact that it’s a cardigan is what makes me think I may be able to get away with it. But if not, I’ll be happy to knit it anyway, and lend it out ’til I shrink a few inches.

I’m off, but in the interest of color, I’ll leave you with a picture Abby took yesterday morning. I think it’s the best Easter shot we have. I don’t take very good pictures when I’m dizzy, feverish, and hacking my guts out.
