Life is one big head cold...

Now it is truly winter. This past weekend, instead of studying for my A&P test I was supposed to take this morning, I spent all my time laying around in bed doing nothing. Sounds dreamy, right? You'd think so.... but I came down with the most awful head cold and flu combo. I swear, I must have gone through two boxes of Kleenex. I'm still feeling quite sick but I have to make up this test by Wednesday so... a-studying I go.

I had hoped to accomplish something this weekend, but I didn't even manage to finish my hat. I didn't really have the energy to dig out my dpns to finish the decreases so it sat forlornly by my bed.... just begging to be finished... It doesn't look like much, but it is the softest yarn ever! It a 100% merino wool by Frog Tree that I had picked up at the LYS for a different project that I never did start. I've knit with some softer yarns, but cashmere and silk all catch on my hands because they're so rough from the dry weather. This stuff just slips right through! I'm thinking that after I finish the millions of projects I have left to finish, I'm going to go down and stock up on some more of this yarn. I mean, its only summer about three months of the year here, so I'm always in need of more cozy warm things.


And yes, I am using my blog for procrastinating... naughty, naughty me....
