In the space of eight daylight hours today, both kids were felled by some unidentified fever. F, who usually has the energy of a thousand suns, lay on the couch with heavy eyelids all afternoon. Poor A didn't know what was going on - she just screamed for 4 hours straight.
It's bedtime now, so I'm banking on a couple of hours to myself before the inevitable Parade of Sick Children throughout the night.
Just time to show one more finished object. The Spicy Fitted Tee from here.
Bad yarn choice, again, but I was knitting from the stash. Bulky acrylic yarn does nothing for me. This pattern...oh dear...I love the design, and I love many of the other patterns in this book, but the pattern was quite simply the worst I have ever tried to follow. Confusing, illogical, and pretty much unintelligible. In the end, I looked at the photos and constructed the pattern myself. However, I love the design so much (and I liked that for once the shaping was obvious enough that I could make the sweater both long enough and waist-cinching enough) that I plan on making another one. Next time, less bulky wool. The photo makes it look awful. Poor R will never make a photographer.
