Being sick is no fun, but there are a few perks.
1. Sleeping more hours then you are awake.
2. Watching your favorite movies, sometimes twice over because it’s too tiresome to put in a new movie.
3. Lots of hand sewing time!
4. Lots of knitting time!
I think most of my free time came from the fact that I only cooked one meal during the entire week I was sick. Dan handled all the other nights, which is to say that he went out to a local restaurant and paid for our meals. grin.
With all that free (knitting & sewing) time, I finished 4 projects.
A traditional dishcloth without yarnovers (holes)
A Headband
A dishcloth within a dishcloth
Dan’s silk tie, which he’s getting tomorrow (3 Kings Day)
(Please don’t ask me how long it took me to tie this tie. I watched 1 You Tube video and 1 pictorial guide before finally coming up with this version. Thankfully, Maria the dress form wasn’t wearing any pants or you could see that the tie came down way too far on her).
