And on the total silliness side, courtesy of Kevin at Purlescence, I offer a picture of taking it easy on oneself, sipping honey and fresh-squeezed lemonade for the flu. Here you go.
Clearly, they put a small person in a much larger person’s sweater with the head out the neck, their legs out one arm, hands out the other and the hemline opening carefully skootched under. I think. Don’t go racing to knit that; just go find someone much much bigger than you.
(Glancing sideways at the 6’8″er who doesn’t know I’m typing this. Heh.)
I did finally pick up yarn and needles and dive in today. I can’t tell you what a relief it felt. At last!

… or some issues with gauge, ha! Hope laughing doesn’t hurt when you’re achy.
Comment by LynnM 11.11.12 @ 2:38 amThat’s something else… but there are definitely days it would be appropriate!
Comment by Channon 11.11.12 @ 5:31 amfor those “leave me alone” days, no?
off to AC Moore. Got a great coupon to buy a new Ott-Lite. My eyes give me grief because the old one died. Then to knit!
Comment by afton 11.11.12 @ 7:12 amGlad you’re feeling a bit better! I have been tired, not sick, but found the energy to spin for a while yesterday. It’s nice to be ‘back’, isn’t it. 🙂
Comment by (formerly) no-blog-rachel 11.11.12 @ 8:03 amIt is good to know you are feeling better. Thanks.
Comment by Sherry in Idaho 11.11.12 @ 8:10 amhmmm, must have been knit by someone having the same issues I had with a recently attempted (and abandoned) project — just could not get gauge!!
glad you are feeling well enough to take up the needles again
Comment by Bev 11.11.12 @ 9:21 amThat looks comfy — I think. That really you? Good that who(what)ever that is, feels better.
Comment by Don Meyer 11.11.12 @ 10:31 amBeing wrapped in handknits like that would have strong healing force, so it isn’t a laughing matter.
Well, ok, really it is. 🙂
I’m glad your well enough to pick up the needles.
Comment by twinsetellen 11.11.12 @ 5:26 pmSome days I just want to stuff myself with acorns, crawl into a hollow log, and sleep until March. I even wish I had a furry tail to wrap around me and cover my nose. But a sweater like that might be almost as good.
Comment by LauraN 11.11.12 @ 7:45 pmWasn’t there some cartoon or ad critter that looked just like that only in yellow rubber? Maybe invented by Pixar, walking around and honking like a duck…
Comment by Marian 11.11.12 @ 8:42 pmSome days that looks exactly like the place I’d like to hide. So glad you’re back to knitting! Get well soon.
