Do what you love. Love what you do.

the Lasting effects
of alpaca-induced asthma

are still an annoying
and major factor today.

i'm able to knit now, and walk around the house,
but not well
enough to be out & doing things
& having
normal life. Still can't lift anything or carry.

(yes, this is whiney, i know.)
there's a lot to
be done this week... and it's just not getting done.


In the meantime ...

there are some completed socks to share with you.

the first pair,
100% merino wool by fleece artist.
I've just put them on for the first time now.
i can vouch for Karine's testament to this yarn:
it keeps getting softer every time you wear them.
My first pair of fleece artist merino socks are astoundingly
soft & they're a month old at best.



i really enjoyed working with the colourway of this wool.
I found the colours of the forest very soothing to work with.


also newly finished and not
yet worn:
a bright & colourful pair of Regia socks.
this is my second time with this colourway of Regia.
I liked the first socks so much i wanted another pair.
they're very cheerful.






Now, a quote to leave you with:

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917)
"Work lovingly done, is the secret of all order and all happiness."

Nadine, I really hope you will be well enough to join us tomorrow. As much as I like Alpaca, it's just plain nasty what it is doing to you!!

Thanks for your comments, I am not upset about this, rather amused that cutting the yarn makes me a nut!!

Hey Nadine, I hope you feel better soon! Those alpacas are mean for making you unwell...I hope you can make it out tomorrow, if not, have a great Christmas!
