My 2007 got off to a pretty foul start. Here are just a few tidbits of the awesomeness that was last week: The bloody nose I got while wandering tissue-less somewhere on 16th street between 8th and 9th Avenue - hello meatpacking district revelers, I’m not a derelict coke addict, just a pregnant lady bleeding out the nose into her scarf. (Don’t worry, not a handknit, just a fake pashmina.)
Then, on the same theme, some bloodletting at the doctors office, and then the waiting, and then the taking of more blood, and then, well, perhaps a bit more waiting. Just drink this, it will only give you a headache for two days straight.
And also death. What week wouldn’t be complete without the death of a beloved grandparent, and the accompanying funerary type ceremonies.
But yesterday was my birthday, and it was lovely, and I believe the heinousness has ended. At least I hope it has ended, because I can tolerate no more. Fortunately, I’ve had plenty of time for knitting. I’ve been working on a mitten, here’s a peek
And a blurry EZ February sweater lounging on the couch, accidentally sized for some very husky little girl
Knitting as therapy, right here chez moi. I expect to have an entire afghan completed by next weekend if this bad streak continues.

2007 HAS to get better from here. Maybe you are just getting all of the ickyness out at the beginning? I'm sorry to hear about your bad week and the loss of your grandparent. Keep knitting; it helps.
