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?)
