Catch up

My kind, courageous, gentle, calm 'boss-become-close-friend' lost her battle with cancer and last weekend I went down country to the small country graveyard where she was laid to rest.   A little over a six hour drive each way was very tiring and it has been a hard few weeks.  How I am missing her!
This weekend I am taking quietly as I have a head cold.   No energy to knit or stitch but I have read a book or two.   Coldrex makes me sleepy, lemon drinks keep my throat happy and the evening walks are on hold.   But this morning the scales were my friend - a total of 5kg lost.   And an email from Kazumi says she has mailed a package of chocolates:( Will I survive that temptation?

Anyway, the Aztec Stitch bookmark is completed and the knitting is started.   Yes, just as the weather is getting cooler I am knitting a short sleeved cardigan.   My efforts to clear my wool stash start with this and then it will be two pairs of wool socks.   I like having projects lined up ahead and once this piece of knitting is done it will be back to Arabian Nights.  Sounds like I am converted to a rotation??
