One Crazy Fiber Lady

32 Days

September 16th, 2008 · 11 Comments

I finally moved my code that does the countdown to Rhinebeck (or other festival) to the sidebar for this theme. It is the finish line for Town & Country. Other than a now four day long sinus/tension headache, I’ve been getting a lot done on T&C. I went home and straight to my room last night, heading for the heating pad and my comfy chair. I had the heat on the back of my head, which helped. iMac on and dialed up for the Sox-Rays game (go Sox!), I was able to knit. Kat was so sweet. She’d periodically come over and pat my arm. While her bro went off to play, she stayed with me until her bedtime.

Today it doesn’t hurt quite so much, but I’ve got a hangover kind of feeling. The back of my head is tight, for the lack of a better word, but at least the pressure isn’t so great that all my teeth hurt. This too shall pass.

Moving along to the reason you stopped by, here’s T&C on the ferry this morning. I’m half a repeat from finishing the back. Sweet.

I did a full repeat of the center motif which is 24 rows since yesterday’s picture.¬† I’m a row or two from the midpoint now.¬† I feel pretty safe saying that the back will be done tonight.¬† Woot.

Now, take a look at this:

Does anyone else think:¬† “yeah baby:¬† spinning wheels and a keg”?¬† Or is it just me?

I know, I am crazy.

Craft on!

    Great progress! You’re making me re-read FF and drool.

    Excellent progress. You will make it to Rhinebeck with time to spare.

    I may have missed it. Are you making the pull over or the cardi? ~ksp

    Mix a keg & a spinning wheel and you’ll have a hangover for certain! Keep going! You’re making great progress on your sweater. I am counting Friday 10/17 as the first day of Rhinebeck because the fun begins then. So my countdown is 31 days. Wee!

    My ears have been feeling “tight” the last few days, and I’ve got a post-nasal-drip-sore throat … but luckily, my nose is behaving itself. That’s something, right? Hope your sinuses start behaving!

    That cardi is coming along nicely! I suffer with a ragweed allergy too so I know how it is.

    Hope your headacheness clears up soon. Heating pads do work the best. For me, it probably would help if I stopped blowing my nose like a Canadian goose all the time….

    You are just jamming on that cardigan! I think it definitely likes you. :)

    Oh you are making the most excellent of progress on T&C. What now there is only 31 days until Rhinbeck! I’m still waiting on my blasted yarn to arrive for knitting my own sweater. I hope you are feeling better soon. I get migraines alot and now how you are feeling. Take care!
