A lost week into a weekend

I am back after a long week fighting what I thought were allergies which was actually allergies with a underlying cold. After a crazy week ending on Friday...I crawled into my jammies and stayed there all weekend long. Mr80grit was wonderful, we had homemade meals, he rented a video that I wanted to see. No knitting has really been done in a week as I was totally drained by the time I got home each day. I spent a lot of time on Saturday and Sunday on the couch with 'nurse' Isabelle and 'nurse' Fergie. They kept me warm and all the TLC I wanted. Little China I think was not feeling well on Saturday and only came downstairs once but on Sunday was up and down the stairs all day. China's health always seem to parallel mine, it is wierd but I swear that little kitty china has the same allergies as I do.

But this morning I woke up feeling a ton better. The sun was shinning on the four inches of snow we got under the night..most of which has now melted. Maybe I will get some photos of the shawl in the beautiful sunlight this week. Depending on the storms.

Blocking completed

Well this weekend I did get the blocking done. This is the rack that we do all the dry flat clothes on. It is so awesome! Five levels and blows unheated air so things dry quickly.




I also got my forest canopy shawl blocked. Here it is pinned. It measured 72 x 41 inches.



I absolutely love it and even wore it on Sunday. But it was dark and cloudy yesterday so no good photos were taken. Then today it snowed. Which I was happy about as that kept the pollen from blowing around today so tonight my allergies are on the down/low side.

I am happy spring has arrived, it just is an allergy yucky time. I am very limited in what I can take so I do what I can and try to ignore it.
