I thought I was dying..

...but it turns out it was just gastro. How pedestrian. But I didn't know this as I've never knowingly had gastro before. And I was in such pain I didn't really stop to tally up all my symptoms. Slowly getting better. Not much energy and very sleepy. I even had to cancel a lunch I was going to host for friends I've been really looking forward to catching up with.

Onto the knitting content! This is where I was this morning with WB's raglan jumper.

I then knit some more, a niggling fear that it would be too short. I really should listen to those niggles. After trying it on him this afternoon, I proved myself right and frogged. I even had to separate the sleeves and then kitchener them back on again. I've only just got back to before the decreases. It will be worth it though. My boy looks great in this colour.

Speaking of the boy, he's just a delight. A slightly snotty delight at the moment, and sometimes a loud annoying one, but I wouldn't trade him. For more than a minute or two anyway. He started taking about 4 steps at a time on Saturday - the day we moved into our new home, so that was a great present. He's now taking more, but still flops back onto his butt very frequently. It makes him sooo happy to take steps though. It's always with a purpose - to get from A to B. (No inefficiency in this household). And no zombie arms! It must be all this usable space we have in our new house, he's just loving roaming around and discovering.

And lastly, here, finally, an FO that I finished a while back - it's a great width and a great project for an single expensive skein of soft soft yarn.

I can't get the colour right - it's a deeper wine colour. Oh well. Back to knitting now.

you poor bugger - hope you are ok. Its awful that sort of thing. BTW how do I knit one of those vests you do for WB. Thinking of knitting one for my nephew - hes such a cute pudgy 15 month old. Lisa

Hmm, prob safest to CO 90 (+ 2 side fake seams) on 5mm.
- Moss or garter stitch for 1.5".
- Stocking stitch until 10-11" from beginning.
- BO 7-9 sts for each armhole, then knit back and front separately.
- Front, decrease 1 or 2 sts on each side
- knit a few rows, then start v-neck

I might need to do a tutorial for the rest. What a coincidence I'm about to start another one!
