I was able to work on the VCC sleeves all day yesterday. They’re coming along nicely. I’m having to make some minor adjustments to the pattern because my row gauge is a little big, but it isn’t anything shocking or difficult. I’m getting anxious to start the cabling.

It’s a strange feeling, having only one WIP. There is certainly a list of things I have to do, but only one currently on needles.

I haven’t forgotten that I’ve made some promises. I know there are more than a few of you waiting for the lacy Noro hat pattern. And even more of you are waiting for Lauralund. Don’t worry. I’ll get to it. It may not be hat and sweater season anymore by the time I do, but I’ll get to it.

As for what is coming next, I’ve got to get going on my Cable-Eight, considering I’m the illustrious hostess. I also need to get my lazy, not-so-knit-alonging butt into gear on my Harry Potter sweater before Allison shuts the KAL down. I’m looking forward to the mindless stockinette. I’ve been enjoying the ribbing on the VCC, and won’t mind at all moving to stockinette when it’s done.

I received a lovely gift while I was sick. I don’t remember when it came, as I’ve been semi-delirious for much of the past week. I do remember being too weak to open the box, so Nate did it for me. (Speaking of, he’s threatening to make me go to the doctor. I’ve been hacking a lot recently. I’m not in the mood to hear I have pneumonia).

They’re wonderful stitch markers, sent by DJ. Thanks, girl! They brightened up a dreary day.

Lastly, does anyone want to live next door to Miss Finch? Our neighbor’s house went up for sale today.

Like, the Vogue Cable Cardi which I might actually have the energy to knit on today.

That’s the back and sleeves.

Also, I’ve got a picture of Pete’s bag all done.

Black is a hard color to photograph. That’s the best I could do. Say a warm farewell because as soon as I’m able, it’ll be shipped to Italy.

The IME yesterday went fine, so far as I can tell. We won’t really know ’til the report shows up, but I am optimistic. Thank you all for your concern and well wishes.

Abby went back to school today, so I should be able to get some rest. I have catch up to do after the last two days of lawyer/doctor stuff. I have been too tired to sleep, so today I want to keep ahead of the game and get plenty of rest.
