Oddly enough, the doctors did not find all the posts I've been carrying
around in my head for the last several months. Instead, they found chronic sinusitis. That explains why I've been so tired and had so many headaches this summer. I figured they were due to having a two-hour commute and a growing infant. On the positive side, they identified certain things that are not causing my problems. For example, it's not any of the 43 airborne allergens they tested me for.
One of my friends at work told me I looked like I had "Dr. Seuss disease" after I came back from allergy testing. They marked and numbered my arm with a purple marker to indicate where they were they were testing for what.
At any rate, I'm on a long-term course of antibiotics and Nasonex. Maybe it is doing some good since I'm posting for the first time in ages.
In case you were wondering, my Hog's Watch wish came true. Wolf received the balaclava in time to get some use out of it. As a matter of fact, it arrived faster than any other package we sent him during the year he was in Afghanistan.
Now he and Stephanie are expecting a little one of their own. Despite my health problems, I set right to work on a sweater for Baby H. Since it was too soon to tell if it was a boy or girl, I tried to choose neutral color combination from all the baby hats that I haven't blogged about. One of my co-workers thought the green edging made it look more masculine, but everyone else thought it would work for either sex. It's the Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker. The yarn is Dalegarn Falk, which is a superwash wool. The buttons are dyed mother-of-pearl that I bought on the cheap from Tuesday Morning. You might notice that the stripes get bigger farther down the length of the body and the sleeves. The truth is, weaving in all the ends from the two-row stripes had me ready to weep. So, to keep what little remained of my sanity, the stripes grew. It turns out they are having a boy.
I also finally sewed the eyes onto Vova's fish hat. Now that we're entering fall, I'd better start on a matching one for Axel. The yarn is Jojoland Rhythm in color M19.
What are you knitting this fall?
