Sick

The last few days have seen me laying in bed in excruciating pain. Sorry for not posting anything here for that time, but I was in no condition to do much of anything. Went to the doctor, but they didn't know why I was in so much pain and referred me to another doctor. Now I'm feeling a bit better (walking, talking, and thinking are now possible), but not at peek performance and it is a labor to do everything. Spent the duration of my illness looking at videos of kitties to keep myself from slipping into depression, knitting, trying to draw, sleeping, and writhing in pain.

I have been knitting a dress of my own design. I had made a swatch to figure out all of my math and began knitting on the 16th of January. Yesterday (February 5th) I looked at the fluted tube I had made thus far and said, "this looks like it might be too big." Whipped out the tape measurer and, low and behold, it was 8 inches too big around. In conclusion, I ripped out the foot and a half of work I had done and started over. Now I have 2 inches of length and (hopefully) the correct dimensions plotted out. I have also decided that the top of the dress will be done in beads, with yarn from the under-bust line down. I will post pics of it as soon as I get a decent length, hopefully by Monday.

I will scan and post the drawings as their own items of interest.
