I was so tired and exhausted though, that I was sleeping whenever I could manage – got up late in the morning (9-10 am), and took an afternoon nap with Sára, and usually went to bed around 10, which is very unusual for me. And I still feel I could sleep all day long. Is this the spring tiredness, or just lack of vitamines? I was too lazy to even switch on the computer for days.

Anyway, when I was not sleeping, I knitted. To make myself happy, I decided to knit on my caftan pullover, and I have finished the front!!! I don’t say it is perfect, but a good wash and blocking will give it a nice finish. I started one of the sleeves, and I hope I will be able to finish until the end of the week. If I don’t have to work on Saturday, because of the mixed up working days due to 1st of May.

 Ah, and I did quite a few rows on the co-workers vest. It is taking shape nicely.

I promise to put on pictures tomorrow.

 Until then: 7496235558372597970.jpg

This is my new avatar at Ravelry. I receive a lot of compliments on it. And not only from the LSG (Lazy, Stupid and Godless) Group.

She had high fever for a few days, and poor thing was quite miserable. Now she is better, but still can’t breath properly because of her full nose. I feel sorry for her, and I can’t sleep either. Today I was home with her,  (my mother was looking after her this week) and the plan was that I will do some cleaning and knitting, and we go out for a stroll with the dog. Nothing of the above.  I was sleeping all day long. Good job she was fine watching cartoons. I ordered some lunch, and that was it.

We were going out for the playground around 4 pm. Despite all of these sleeping, I still don’t feel strong enough to do anything. I hope I will not catch Sára’s disease. Instead of knitting, I’m trying to sort out some tangled yarn in my basket. Not too much success on this…. I still have a great big knot of yarn. I think this will be good for stuffing some amigurumi dolls in the future.

Finally, I have started the co-workers vest. It is going to be fast and easy, I just skipped it because I was interested in so many other things in the last few weeks.

If I will have some time at the computer, I’m intended to search the history of knitting a little. I’d love to see old knitted fabrics, and old techniques. Amazing, how old this craft is!

No wonder we can create so beautiful, sophisticated, intrigued patterns.
