the blue blog archives: how do you spell relief?

The stresses of twelve days of rain, a cold/stomach bug working it's way through the family, and hubby away on a business trip sent me running to my crinkle cardigan for comfort many times in the last two weeks. Now hubby's back, it's finally stopped raining, there's only one runny nose left to suffer through and I've got two finished sleeves and the beginnings of a front panel. Just a few more crazy weeks like that and I should be all done with this cardi!

I can hardly wait to see it put together (one consolation of bad weather and feeling under the weather).

I'm glad you have been getting lots of knitting time in, but I hope the weather and everyones health picks up! I can't wait to see it finished, I have a soft spot for everything pink!!

What a pretty pink! But I hope you don't have to go through a few more crazy weeks like that to finish it. Glad you are feeling better.

Sounds like you are having such a great time...at least you have a pretty sweater.

It's so pretty! I can't wait to see it finished, but I also don't want there to be any more rain, so could you keep going even in this sunshiney weather?

What a comfort cardigan!

Wow - you do such beautiful work! And with the flu!!
Good for you - that sweater is going to be so pretty. I hope you don't have any more 'crazy' weeks though - surely you can finish it without them! :-D
Best of luck with that last runny nose.

Alison, what size are you making? Do you mind measuring the cuff width and width at armhole bind off for me??

Thanks. Gauge sucks. Rowan schematics suck.
