I got a hat request this morning, and of course I'm knitting like mad, between lazing around and doing errands- the only errands I have run in weeks are the ones that take me to Walgreen's for drugs. I hate that I shop there more than anywhere else in the world.
I am knitting because my customer is in need of a few hats for her sister, who is undergoing chemo and has nothing cute to put on her head. Can I help! Yes!
I started work before I hung up the phone. Making a little baby yarn hat for inside wear and something like my own orange and yellow winter hat for outdoors.
Don't know how I'll get them to her, except Fed Ex.

Back to Work
Ah, the rigors of Halloween are now a thing of the past! Yay!
Now on to some serious sewing with one of my three working machines. I've got baby doll clothes planned.

Snake Scarf
I'm knitting a scarf in the round on huge needles, all green stripes with cabling, and I'm calling it the Anaconda Scarf. Or the Python, maybe. There's a red snake tongue dangling from the head. I hope I have enough yarn for a hat. It's going to be very long, if the yarn holds out, and I plan on wearing it myself. Come on cold weather!

Doll Hat
Knitted a little red doll hat and it is very cute. Having Female troubles, thanks to being female. I hate it and hope I can get into the doc before parts start falling off.

Yellow and Green
Well, I'm a little puzzled by the latest hat. I'm not sure what happened, except I didn't change to big circulars. It's cute- sorta slouchy and might be great with some fingerless gloves.
Needing a new bedspread, and having an old one that's been chewed by dogs and a new quilt top which is big enough for a queen size at least, I am going to leap in and make a new one. I think, it'll only take a few hours, just seam it up, there's already batting. It can't be a hassle.
We'll see.
And it is beautiful outside, so I should not even be starting a project in unknown territory. Oh why not?

Gross!
I was sick today- all last night and all of today, and it was the ultimate grodi-ness. I had to do some laundry to deal with the scrubbing and cleaning up I did while I was spewing foul fluids from every orifice. Yuck!
Hardly knit today but the last two days I was really flying. I'm sure I'll find the mistake when I have about two feet on the project. Of course!
I am rather enjoying having a blanket to huddle under. Even if it's a baby size one.
Just sitting up to post this, I already feel sickly again. I'm going to sleep all night and then hope I feel up to going to work tomorrow.

Early to Bed
Started a baby blanket yesterday and I'm already on the second attempt. Using three big skeins in yellow green and pink, it's a basket weave on 5mm needles.
I don't know, it might be a mess.
