Freckles & Purls: Sick

Sick

Home sick from work today. Ugh. I didn't sleep at all last night. So. Frustrating. I kept looking at the clock thinking "If I go to sleep NOW, I'll get ___ hours of sleep." I did get a couple hours of sleep after Geoff left for work. The worst thing about staying home sick (besides feeling like crap) is daytime TV. It SUCKS! Thank God for knitting.

Speaking of which, I blocked my niece's sweater (never found my blocking pins, had to go buy new ones). Here's a pic of the pieces post blocking...

And here's a closeup of the body with the edging...

I'll probably start seaming it up this afternoon! I hope it fits her!

Another thing I'm going to do this afternoon is buy this pattern...

It's by one of my favorite knitwear designers, Jenna Adorno. She's the designer behind Knitty.com's Tempting and Blaze. She is selling the above pattern for $5 on her website and for every pattern sold, Jenna is donating $6 to Susan Love's Breast Cancer Research Foundation. That's 120% of your purchase price going to a GREAT cause. You can buy the pattern and read about how breast cancer has affected Jenna's life by visiting her website.

Better run... there is seaming in my future...
