It’s nice, no? I’m quite pleased with myself.
And here’s why I’m glad the “S” part is over, and I’m back to just blue.
Bobbins suck. I was up to 10 at one point. I actually fair-isled the small little yellow bit at the top right of the “S” because I couldn’t bear to divide up the red again, making one more double strand of yarn to tangle up with everything else.
So I have 5-6 inches of blue left to knit, then I’ll pick up stitches along each side to knit an inch of 1×1 ribbing. Then I’ll find some good fabric to line it with, and will start begging people I know to line it for me, since I have no desire, whatsoever, to do it myself.
I’m ready to start on his blue koigu hat.
I’m sick as a dog. I feel rotten. Aside from the sinus infection that’s moving down my windpipe and into my chest, my stomach is taking the term “discomfort” to new levels. I can’t eat or drink hardly a thing. It feels like my stomach is capped off, and anything I try to put into it just sits at the base of my esophagus and burns me.
I’m dehydrated.
I’m tired. (Too uncomfortable to sleep, or even lie down, because everything gets worse when horizontal, even semi-propped up. Although I did manage some hours of sleep last night. But there’s no chance of day-napping).
I’m hungry. Nothing sounds good. Everything hurts. Now even Gatorade, my saving grace, upsets my stomach.
Blah, blah, blah. Even I’m sick of hearing me complain.
My next doctor appt is Wednesday. Since I’m doing the acid medicine twice a day like I’m supposed to, maybe he’ll have something else for me to try.

just curious, will his blanket be ‘cape’ shaped? Also, will his little hat have an ‘S’ on it too???

Wow…. sooooooo PRETTY and precious one! Hope you will feel better real soon!!! I know it’s bummer to have sinus infections!

I hope you get some relief soon and the doctor has something for you to try.
And the gratuitous knitting content: Nice S! Actually, it is a very nice S 🙂

Oh my goodness, your baby blanket is whipping together so quickly! It looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see little superboy wrapped up inside. 🙂 Take care of yourself — you sound miserable! Poor mamacita.

That’s the superest S I’ve ever seen!
Here’s hoping the doc has some helpful input. Maybe you should whisper to the superboy and tell him to scooch down a bit and let some liquid through …

That is looking so cool! Now, I am seriously thinking if I should chart one and knit for hubby as a surprise!

Sorry you feel so crappy. I’m amazed at how productive you are in spite of it all. The Superman blanket looks great! Hope you can eat more and drink more soon.

Ahh, I keep meaning to post, but.
Anyways…it looks great, really. Clark(e?) is goin to love it!! All of his baby friends are going to be totally envious.
I hope you feel better soon, and that the doctor you see tomorrow has something useful/helpful to say.

I lived on stick pretzels. I knocked the majority of the salt off them and ate those. It helped with the stomach alot.
I ended up with a hiatal hernia…because I never lost the weight after. We are about the same size.. Alot of that reflux should stop after delivery.
The Superman is adorable…. only a few weeks to go!!!

Only a few more weeks to go, Girl! The blanket looks absolutely super… sorry you’re still feeling like crap. When’s the move?
