My nausea is significantly worsened by movement. I feel best when I’m lying in bed surrounded by strategically placed pillows, and I have done this a lot. Unfortunately, it has got to the point where nearly every room in the house is so trashed, I literally can’t stand it. So I’m dedicating today to cleaning/purging/organizing. The reason everything is so messy is because our house is small, and we have lots of stuff. There isn’t a place to PUT everything. So it ends up in piles, in corners, and driving me crazy.

Speaking of, I have an antique oak wardrobe that has been in my family for at least 20 years, and it has been sitting in the middle of my living room for months, waiting to find a new home. If anyone is interested, please email me. It’s driving me insane.

So I’m cleaning today. And all the constant movement and bending is making my stomach hurt. A lot. To ease my suffering, I am entertaining myself with thoughts of what I will do when it’s done and I can once again spend my days laying around.

I’ve been thinking about the Weasley Sweaters again. Abigail would look particularly adorable in a Harry sweater about now. She’s a dainty, feminine kind of tomboy. It’s hard to picture, I know, but she’s so stinking cute…. and I think with her hair the way it is now, she just needs that sweater. So I’m hoping to get on that again soon. I’m not feeling as much of a push to do Olivia’s accompanying “Ron” sweater, but I think I’m still bitter that she lost her gorgeous pink coat from last year. I don’t trust her with a small gauge stockinette Silky Tweed sweater yet.

Wanna see something totally groovy?

Julie (who outed herself yesterday in the comments) let me borrow this incredibly cool hat pattern booklet from her grandmother’s knitting stash. Could you just die? I LOVE it! Particularly the one on the bottom right. The cool thing is that I can tell from her grandmother’s writing and highlighting that it was one of her favorites too. The gauge on these hats is enormous. I don’t know where I’d find yarn that big. It’s like, 5 stitches to 2 inches in stockinette. Mercy.

Ok, I need to get back to work. Any Cable-Eights?
