The attack of the sickies
This may not look like much but there's few hours worth of knitting right there and 6 inch done. Being mostly housebound this week, I knitted quite a bit on this project. With our 1st real snowfall this week with snow still on the ground, I need a scarf. I am curious to know how other weights of Morehouse yarns feel as this lace weight is lovely to knit with. :)
Yesterday afternoon, Carl comes rushing home and we realise that he got hit by the bug, he is SICK! I mean violently S-I-C-K! Since last friday there's always been someone sick in this house, it's taking it's toll on both my mom and I. We are washing hands and everything else at lightning speed to help us not get hit too. I can't wait for a day where everyone will be healthy and where I get more than 4 hours of sleep in a row. I am exhausted, stressed, tired, everything is happening at the same time we can't cope with it all at the same time.
Zoe went to school wednesday afternoon, in the meantime Carl and Lucas baked and decorated a cake for her. She was SO happy when we celebrated her half-birthday, she smiled for the 1st time in days. It warmed my heart to finally see her happy! Of course her teacher told her it was a lie that we celebrated her birthday since she was born in may but whatever but Zoe knows she is right! On the school front, thanks to many messages of comfort, we will build our own chart of success for Zoe to follow. Her teacher has kept a few kids after class for extra help but Zoe wasn't one of them so perhaps she's doing better than we think!? Today the teachers were on strike in the morning and the kids had school in the afternoon, in Zoe's class there were only 8 or 9 so I hope she has a good time.
I am starting to feel like I want to knit everything all at once. I have so many works in progress though so it's hard to justify to myself to need to start yet another project. Also I keep needing more needles too. LOL!
