While I Was Out Last Week

So last week I had a crazy schedule and on top of it I had the flu.  Thankfully it was the Flu Light and not the Flu That Knocks You On Your Butt For Two Weeks, but basically by the end of the day all I could do was snuggle into bed under all the covers with Max and watch Netflix.  Am I the only one who kind of loves that Netflix checks on you periodically?  I know they aren't going to call 911 or send hot soup if I don't answer, but for some reason I think it's sweet of them.  Never mind.

Anyway, I did get some knitting and crochet done, but most of it happened over the weekend.

I finished the body and the first sleeve of my handspun Cranberry Memories.  This was the perfect autopilot knitting while I was sick.  I've got to sew the sides of the pocket, but I'll get that at the end when I weave in all the yarn ends.

I also crocheted Caleb a shark.

I found the pattern for Chum (love that name!) and knew I wanted to make it for Caleb and last week seemed like the perfect time to do it.

It's a well written pattern and I'm really happy with the finished shark.  Even with being sick, he worked up pretty quickly.
