Killing Time
What did I do during my unexpected vacation? The first day or two, I watched a lot of TV. Really. Probably more TV than I usually watch in a year. The next few I still couldn’t drive but I felt well enough to move around a bit without throwing up. So, . . . . .
I crocheted (!) a string bag:
I finished knitting a shawl that I recently designed (pattern soon):
I swatched for another new shawl design:
I knit a felted bag, which still needs straps:
I started a sweater:
I started another sweater:
I read a book:
I read another book:
When I felt considerably better, I spun some amazing silk that Laurie sent me:
Oh, and Paula, I watched my tomatoes, get bigger:
After that, I was exhausted so I marked all my Bloglines feeds as “read.”
Ahhh, so many feeds . . . so little time.

Geez you did more than most of us do when we’re feeling fine!
It’s hard to be sick and do nothing. You packed more in that mots of us would however!
Wow! I’m exhausted just reading what you did. Glad you are feeling better.
Wow–I’m impressed!
Girl, you do more when you’re on convalescence than I could ever do when I’m well. Glad you’re feeling better!
Are you kidding??? Amazing. Glad that you are feeling better.
You can come and be sick at my house next.
Mercy! I could not do anything that involved eye movement when I had my little bout a few years ago. You accomplished more than I do healthy! Hope you are feeling better!
Is that all? Well, considering you weren’t feeling well, I guess it’s OK. *pffffft*
Wow! You’ve been busy. I can’t wait to see they new pattern. The color is so fetching. Exciting!
i’m glad you’re feeling better!
Glad you are feeling better and were able to spend time on things that you love.
Wasn’t that Zoe Heller book bizarre? I read it when it first came out.
Nice work, slacker.
Dang, you sure do get a lot done for being laid out! Feeling better though, I hope?
Stunning set of accomplishments with the world all wavy.
Holy crap! Just how long was that “vacation”?!?!? I am starting to suspect that you and the evil Martha Stewart are in cahoots to make the rest of us mere mortal women feel completely inadequate by comparison. Fie!
(wait — did I just say “fie”?)
Good heavens! No idle hands at your house, huh?
The red lace intrigues me.
So glad to hear that you are feeling better! I feel like a slacker when comparing my output to all of your activity during your “downtime”.
Wow, you sure know how to relax and take it easy!
You’re amazing. Can’t wait to see/buy the pattern for the new shawl. I just love the Forest Canopy (I’m on my fourth one, this time for me)…I finally memorized the pattern and get what everyone says about lace. Thanks for sharing. I’m a regular reader, but not commenter…Glad you’re feeling better.
Dang, busy lady! Just knitting up a storm!
Yeah, that ‘mark all read’ button comes in handy sometimes.
Can’t wait to see the shawl when it’s unveiled.
Glad you’re better – don’t send your wrists into carpal tunnel…
Awesome! That sounds like a great vacation, minus the cause. I hope you are feeling better.
Carole took the words right out of my mouth! I’m impressed and SO glad you’re feeling better!
Good to see you are feeling better. I shudder to think what you’ll accomplish now!
For a ‘down gal’ you sure turned out some lovely work..Glad you’re feeling better..the new shawl is yummy!
Being that productive when you are sick…Now you are just making the rest of us look bad. Feel better!
Are you kidding me? I really need to re-evaluate the productivity of my down time.
What a lovely vacation (well, besides the vertigous part). Props for making so much lemonaide.

Good to see you are on the mend, even if it makes the rest of us appear to be slackers. Can’t wait to see the red lace project. It looks delicious not even spread out!
Wow! I am Uberimpressed! That is relaxing for you?? That is a crazy busy time for me. ((HUGS)) and keep mending!
Wow, I sure hope you are feeling better now! That was quite a combination…
The red shawl is beautiful. I’m looking forward to see that pattern. And, of course, now you have peeked by curiosity with the blue lace.
I have enjoyed your Forest Canopy Shawl (at least 3 times)and introduced the pattern to the ladies at my LYS== the Gourmet Yarn Company. I have been reading your concerns about carpal tunnel problems and I have to say, get the surgery!!! I suffered with the same problem for 18 years, since my first pregnancy. I couldn’t sleep for monts at a time and had loads of problems for years. I finally had the surgery. I have a 1 inch scare in my hand and three weeks later was able to go to tennis camp for three days. I could do everything except a backhand volley! The surgery is great, worth it and a quick recovery. Beats the crap out of suffering and physical therapy. Bev
Wow, I am appalled at the number of typos I made in that last comment. Sorry, I’m not really an illiterate stalker.
Yes, seriously, I wish I could find myself sick like that more often. Hope you are feeling back to normal.
Wow. I echo the above comments. Wow! I do love the bag, would you share the details? Love the shawls as well. Beautiful, just beautiful.
