I'm tentatively dipping my toe back into the blogging world. I'm starting to feel like being creative again and I've missed chatting with everyone and seeing what they're up to.
Thank you so much for the well wishes on my previous post. Fortunately my blood tests came back fine so my tiredness was probably a result of having a lot to do and some medication I'm taking. Things seem to have balanced out now, or I'm getting better at pacing myself. Mr Soaring Sheep took the past two weeks off work so we had a "holiday from home". Lots of trips out but also lots of time relaxing too.
This week I decided to work on the sleeves of this sweater. I'm decreasing every inch or so but I think I'll need to try it on Mr Soaring Sheep when he's home again to work out if it's going to be alright. The sweater itself is fairly slim fitting so the sleeves need to be in proportion.
I really want to cast on a lace shawl I've had in mind for ages. I even found myself looking for the finished shawl to wear the other day before remembering I have only wound the skein of yarn into a ball lol. I need the same needles I'm using in the sweater so I'd better get it finished!
It's so nice to feel like knitting again, I've missed it
Glad to hear you're doing better. Your sweater looks great. I can't wait to see how it looks with a collar.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm planning some sort of shawl collar but not quite sure how I'm going to do it just yet lol
DeleteI'm glad you're feeling better & it's always a good thing when the creative juices start running again x
ReplyDeleteThank you, I've missed crafting a lot
DeleteGlad to hear you are feeling a little better and that you have got your creative mojo back. Love the colour of the sweater.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) The yarn gorgeous in real life, really rich coloured
DeleteYay, great to see you back!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI am glad that your results are all OK, I hope that you are feeling more rested now. Lovely to hear from you! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's nice to be back and to feel like I've got something to blog about :)
DeleteGlad this fatigue isn't serious. Missed you in the blogging world. Your hens are pretty. The grey one is my fave. Yay on the jumper progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you, me too! Although in some ways it would have been nice if I'd got low iron levels or something where I could take a tablet and feel better. I think the combination of various real life things got on top of me.
DeleteThe grey hen is called Merry, she's the cheekiest and greediest. She's the first to come and feed from your hand and if I leave the kitchen door open she'll come into the house for a nose around lol
So glad to hear that the blood tests came out well. So many of us are under a ridiculous level of demands that it's no wonder we experience fatigue.
ReplyDeleteThe cables on the sweater are magnificent!
Thank you :) Yeah I think various issues we've been dealing with the past 6 months+ had got on top of me. Hopefully things will continue to improve :)
