I would love to fill this post with happy, smiling pictures of my family eating and carrying on at Thanksgiving, followed by more pictures of us acting crazy at 3am on BLACK FRIDAY, but I spent most of Thanksgiving with my head in a toilet.
That is right. On the one day a year you get to pig out like no other, I woke up with a raging stomach flu. I ate maybe 10 saltines, most of which my stomach promptly rejected, and a popsicle.
I couldn’t even knit. It. Sucked. And I’m still not better! I’m barely eating and have no energy.
I did manage to leave the house on Friday to mail an important package. Where is it going?!
I’m going to have a sweater pattern in the Summer 2011 issue of Interweave Knits! That is why things have been a little slow around here. I had to knit an entire secret sweater in 3 weeks! During holiday knitting season!
But I did it, and it’s mailed off, and I’m putting the finishing touches on my pattern and will send that off to them tomorrow, too. To Interweave! No big deal.






















How cute are you with that “no big deal” bit! Ha! That’s a huge bit!
I can’t wait to see this secret sweater/pattern.
And what a drag to be sick on the holiday. Crap man! Speedy recovery for you and hopefully you got a plate of leftovers to hoard for yourself.

Ah! Congrats on your design! So very exciting, almost makes up for the terrible stomach flu on the biggest eating day of the year… almost.
