Needle Tart

If I'm not knitting or sewing something, I must be cooking something!

What's Up Doc?

I saw the doctor today and her opinion is that I have hit the perfect storm of depression. Low thyroid (that would be the Rx the pharmacy messed up), low Vitamin D, possible anemia due to, ta-dah, menopause. The pause that depresses. Also a few situations that are not really happy: anniversary of my Mom's death (10 years, but, hey! she was my Mom), maybe surgery, and of course, the wedding and ensuing nerves. We are addressing the meds and I am talking to a therapist to manage the rest. Thanks to everyone who sent positive vibes my way. They made a tough week survivable.
Coming soon, knitting content. I am working on Daydreams in Lace. Time consuming but not too taxing. Should be pretty.

Of Beds and Blocking

I went to pick up Younger Son at school today and had to warn him that he should be prepared to sleep on the floor if necessary tonight. Why would it be necessary he asked. Because I am blocking YSS's (Younger Son's Sweetie. Thanks, Amy) lace scarf and his bed was the only one not in use last night. I would have finished it sooner, but the lace-blocking wires I ordered from KnitPicks arrived with a bend in the middle and I had to wait for the replacements to get here. I checked as soon as we got home and, luckily the lace was thin and it dried quickly. Younger Son gets to use his bed tonight (he also took a picture, since my camera has gone walk-about). After the holidays (well, sometime in January I will post some sort of picture).
Otherwise the knitting continues. I used the sleet day to finish the embroidery and then some knitting. Socks, socks, scarves, and a hat. Think I could squeeze a sweater in there?
