It isn’t yarn. It isn’t a new FO. It isn’t even some old gingerbreadmen. Of all the fun things in the world, I got me a kidney infection instead. For those luckily not in the know, a kidney infection is just like having ‘flu (chills, fever and vomiting) with the added bonus of what I imagine crucifixion to be like when doing anything that involves your kidneys. You get the idea. The upsides? Anti-biotics work almost straight away and I don’t have to wear people clothes for the next day or two. I even found the energy to swatch…
You know what this means
…and to work on something else, too. It’s actually not very interesting to look at, so here is a buttonhole (everyone assumes that mysterious projects look much more interesting, but looking back over the last year of my blog, there’s only so much stockinette I can put you people through). The funny thing about this buttonhole is that I had a dream last night that Elizabeth Zimmermann lied to me about how many stitches to use for her one-row-buttonhole and I was really mad at her. How can you be mad at EZ?!
The downsides? Lots of bed rest and no people clothes. Having to knit in your pyjamas is a tough job… but someone’s gotta do it!
oh no! hope you recover soon. that’s no fun at all.
You poor thing! Take it easy and get well soon.
that is terrible news – my mum always says get your fluids into you – keep your kidneys flushing! *LoL* now i say it to my son 😉 hope your better soon – does it feel funny to be lounging around all day in your jammys?
Feel better!
O Dear, your so ill!! Hope you feel better soon!
wow, you are one serious knitter if you dream about Elizabeth Zimmerman!
Get well soon (and build up your strength!!)
poor girl, hope you’re feeling better right now. I once had -presumably- kidney stones. That was before my baby boy was born, I thought childbirth wouldn’t get much worse thant those pains I had. Well… It did… But still, kindneypains really really s@#k!
You have a lot of knitting dreams, don’t you? I actually had one last night as well. Forgot to tell you last time I saw you that I think cranberry juice is supposed to help the urinary system and help keep infections away…
