Breathing, Knitting, Healing . . .

I'm still down with pneumonia today. It's difficult to be enthusiastic about living each day in pursuit of my own excellence when it is a monumental undertaking just to walk a flight of stairs. However, I am freshly showered and in fresh pajamas and willing myself to be cured of this SOON.

But, today, I am resting -- yet again. I've dug out the log cabin blanket I starting knitting last winter. I put it away when the weather got too warm to want an afghan in your lap constantly. It seems just the perfect project to snuggle under while I convalesce.



This is a fun project, but the longer you work on it, the slower it goes. It's all garter (knit) stitch, which is good for when you don't want to think; the most challenging aspect of the project is choosing the next color to work with. (The instructions and pattern can be found in Mason-Dixon Knitting by Kay Gardiner and Ann Meador Shayne.) I highly recommend that book for a creative and easy-going look into knitting.

Well, I'm off to knit a bit and plan my next move to fabulousness . . .
