Unbalanced

Work, and an annoying virus that has infected my right inner ear so my balance is all out and I’m constantly dizzy and a bit nauseus, has dominated life lately. To keep my hands and neck from seizing up from all the typing and such, I’ve cut back on my internet and knitting time. I do an hour a night on each of my two main wips:

I’ve reached the point with the Ribbed Wrap Jacket where I want to knuckle down and finish it. Just a few more hour’s knitting and the second sleeve will be done.

The collar has only another 10cm or so left to knit. I managed the previous 10cm in the doctor’s waiting room, hoping in vain he’d give me some antibiotics to deal with the ear infection. He resisted, even though I pointed out I had three months work to do in the next three weeks. (Or rather, 18 days.)

The Shadow Tweed Snake Scarf is so much fun to knit. I love this pattern. It takes about an hour to do one segment, all the while watching it grow and the colours slowly shift. Last night I thought I might be finished, as the colourways had ended at a good place, but I decided it wasn’t long enough. I’ll knit three more segments.

There has also been yarn aquisition. I dropped into Kmart because I’d read on Ravelry that there were pattern books going cheap. Turned out they were books I already had, but the yarn was 25% off, so I stocked up ready for my next baby blanket:

Don’t worry, it’s not a Collingwood footy blanket. And there will be more colour. The black and white are for the base; I’ll be adding colourful embellishments later.

  1. Hope your balance retuns soon, and you are able to knit more too. The Snake Scrf looks great. I might need to make one too, in green though!!

  2. Hope you get balanced soon! Ear infections are no fun at all.
    I am glad the baby blanket is not going to be a Collingwood one.
    I look forward to the result of the work you are doing 🙂

  3. Oh I know exactly how you feel having an ear infection. I suffered from 5 attacks last year and now my balance never seems completely right. I do hope you recover soon. I popped into Kmart too and bought some Panda Magnum which is so soft and perfect for kids knits. They seem to be putting in a lot of new yarns.

  4. The snake scarf look great.
    I hope the ear clears up soon and you regain your bablance. That is no fun.
