I know a lot of bloggers say this, but I have the best readers. Thank you for all of the comments and emails I received after my last post. You were all so kind and encouraging. I was also so grateful to hear from people who have had this injury and have recovered. That’s just what I needed to hear. Thank you.
I’m able to sit up for short periods of time now and I’ve been using that time to work on my Tropical Monkey Socks. I absolutely love this pattern. It’s interesting enough to ward off boredom, but easy enough to knit while watching TV. They are both ready for their heels:
Here’s a closeup of the pattern:
I’ve discovered the fun part of having a cane. I can lie on the couch and bug the dogs:
I wish I would have snapped a picture of the look on Kishka’s face after I did this. She seemed to be saying, “Listen, lady. If I had opposable thumbs I’d take that cane and beat you with it.”
The feast:
Appetizer
Name something you think is “the best.”
What? Are we in third grade or something? Silly question.
Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 highest), how stressed are you today?
Well, that depends. If I really think about everything going on in my life right now, it would be a 9. However, I’ve been avoiding reality so I’d say a 2.
Salad
What kind of cleanser do you use to wash your face?
Neutrogena Facial Bar. My former sister-in-law introduced me to this wonderful product many moons ago (1993?) and it’s all I use now.
Main Course
Tonight is a blue moon! What is something that you believe only happens “once in a blue moon.”
Once in a blue moon . . . I have good luck. Not to be pessimistic, but 2007 is not a banner year for me so far.
Dessert
When was the last time it rained where you live?
Last week sometime.
Can you hear me laughing? :o)
I’m sure she would too!
Your Monkeys look great. My daughtr made them as well and loved the stitch pattern. I’m glad you are feeling a little bit better!
Those socks are gorgeous! I haven’t tried that pattern, but I love the way it looks. The colors are some of my favorites, too.
Glad you’re feeling better! The socks are very pretty so far!
I just read your last post about your back. I am so sorry to hear you’re suffering so, but it’s good to know things seem to be improving. Puppy face pictures when you’re able, please! ;-)
