The Weekend That Wasn't

I'm not quite sure where the last three days went. I know that a good bit happened, but it all seemed to fly by so quickly that I've felt more like I've been going through the motions. Most of it has seemed to revolve around David's Christmas cold, which ended up turning into post-New Year bronchitis, which meant no sleep Saturday night and a Sunday morning trip to the nearest urgent care facility. At least with some antibiotics on board his coughing jags were fewer and farther between, but we still both ended up sleeping through a good bit of the day today.

One thing I did manage to knock out was a quick gift for my baby sister, who turns 25 the Friday after next. One of the skeins I bought at Rhinebeck from Briar Rose Fibers was picked specifically with her in mind, but I hadn't decided what to make with it. I was inspired by an item in the latest knitty, but the final design is very much my own. Since I don't know how often she stops by this blog, I can't show the FO just yet, but I thought I would show just a little detail.



I've got enough of the yarn left over, that I may see if I can knock out something else to match before I pop it in the mail to her. And if I'm lucky, I may be able to talk her into modeling it for me, so I can share with all of you.

And now, the pedal thingie awaits to see how far we can go before I fall asleep.
