I'm All Better Now

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm feeling much better today and have been able to talk for the last couple of days. I still sound a bit like Kathleen Turner, but I can talk now and that's the important thing. I've been working on Hidcote (no pictures because the weather's lousy and I have enough trouble tying to approximate the true color without added issues) and I'm to the first place where the pattern changes dramatically. Of course, this was what I took to the Sit 'N' Knit last night to work on. I couldn't concentrate. I ended up talking a lot more than knitting along with a little spinning. This is after having to use DPNs to fix something on Hidcote Saturday night. I had messed up yarnovers or something, but got it all fixed. Hopefully, I'll get back on track today with her.

In March, I'll be doing a program on polymer clay buttons for my local knitting guild. I'm pretty excited about it because it gives me an excuse to get the stuff out and just play. I was planning on demonstrating how to make button molds and how to do canes. I've already done a blog tutorial on caned buttons (just see the sidebar), but I'll document molds, too.

I'll know exactly what's going on with Juliette when she gets her stitches out on Thursday. I really do appreciate all the kind thoughts you all have given.
