How about health permitting


Okay, the first day of the new year and I feel ill. My nose is running and my throat is sore. I think it's the late nights and no sleep. I wore myself down. But I have a whole new year to build it back up.

I didn't get the resin project too far along. The weather wasn't too bad. It looked like it was going to rain but the humidity was only 25% and it was in the 70's. I created an image and printed it out and then my husband wanted to clean up Christmas so we did that. Then it was time to cook dinner. So we did that. Then it was too late. No biggie I just have to cut out my images, measure and pour my first layer of resin and let it sit a few minutes. Then I can set my images and do the 2nd pour. Maybe I can do the first pour on my lunch break tomorrow. Sound productive.

My picture today is of one of my current knitting projects. It's that multifunctional scarf from Knitty.com named wisp. I am using Filatura di Crosa Multicolor 2105 Yarn on size 9 needles. I couldn't find my #8s. It's 60% Mohair and 40% acrylic. It's a really easy pattern to follow, but for some reason I get to the end of the 2nd pattern repeat and have to frog it and this yarn is not forgiving, if you make a mistake it's an instant felter and won't unravel. I like the color flow so I have ordered back up skeins. I will finish this project.

Time to relax and sip some NyQuil and doze off to sleep. Tomorrow is my Friday and tis the season for everyone who got a new electronic toy to call in to technical support and play dumb that they have no idea how to work it. Read the manufacturer's instructions!!! Everything comes with a quick start diagram now a days.
