I didn’t go to the Aloha Knitters meeting tonight. That’s the 3rd meeting I’ve missed in a row. I miss the whole gang. (cue cheers theme song)
Instead I finished the knitting on the Moon Dance. Now all I have to do is weave in the ends and block it. I think it’ll be a monster to block because it’s longer then my cutting board. I keep meaning to go to the hardware store to look at the insulation foam, but I never seem to find the time.
Meanwhile, as I lay in bed knitting with Onyx keeping me company, I restarted the Pomatomus socks and then I restarted the Pomatomus socks and then I restarted the Pomatomus sokcs. Ay yi yi. All it was, was that I forgot how to count to twelve. Really! To twelve! “Oh my brain, Iago. He was my friend” Forgive the bad misquote I get so punchy when I don’t sleep.
Oh that’s right, I haven’t said have I? I have a chronic slieep disorder (Fibromyalgia). I’m lucky if I get 7 hours of sleep twice in one week. I’m trying to change all that though through diet, exercise, and medication. La di daaa It’s a long process though. So while I wait, I usually lie in bed and knit during the rougher flare ups, or watching tv.
That’s why I set up that poll on which shawl to start next. All the shawls I want to start require more concentration then my poor brain is capapble of at this time. So I decided to go with the popular vote and start the Icarus in a gorgeous teal tencel.
Pictures forthcoming. Stay tuned. Peace be with you.
(does anyone else get the blabbers with Lunesta?)

You are too funny. Sorry about your health troubles though :( I guess the silver lining is that you get a lot of knitting done, ha ha. Seriously, I can’t believe how fast you finished Moon Dance!

Yeah don’t worry about the health stuff, I’ve been living with it so long it doesn’t bring me down and gee, something that makes me have to lie down and knit. Golly. How desperately tragic! *grin*

Ohhh, can’t wait to see the Moon Dance stole!
Sorry to hear about your sleep problems. Are you seeing any improvement on the Lunesta?
Thanks for the kind words about my Sampler Shawl and linking to the rectangular shawl list!
