Creativity has not been diminished though. Last weekend I took receipt of a box of yarn from Canada. It's always so exciting, even although I know exactly what's in there because I ordered it. I just love to take out the balls of yarn, luxuriate in their texture and dream about the projects that I have planned for them. In this case it's hats.
I'm doing well on The Little Guy's socks too. I have chosen to just do a basic stockinette with the Reggio sock yarn, keeping it quick and simple so that I can get back to my hats.
My sister loved the baby blanket, which arrived safely in the UK by mail at the beginning of the week. It was surprisingly quick. My mum even called to say she'd seen it and what a beautiful keepsake it is. They all adore it. I am hugely proud of it and very happy to be able to express the love I have for the niece that I've never met, in such a personal way.
Tomatoes are still flowing in the garden. I'll be picking the last of them over the weekend I think. I've managed to make two quarts of pasta sauce this week and I have more tomatoes soaking in hot water (to remove their skins) as I write.
In the mean time, I think I'll be curling up on the sofa with a box of tissues, a movie and some knitting. Mind you, it is football season and I do enjoy watching a good game. I just have to be careful that I don't stab myself with my knitting needles when things get too exciting!
Until next week,

Well at least somebody is getting some knitting done. Feel better--drown it with fluids.
And I think it's suppose to rain all weekend. This sounds like the perfect excuse to watch a stack of old movies and knit! Feel better soon!
Hope you feel better. I, too, got sick, with the allergy headache from hell. Totally drugged out yesterday and have had a hangover today, but feeling better. Just in time for Monday!
LG's socks look really cozy! I'm trying knitting a sock just today in fact (from Mum's birthday stash) ... I won't say sock(s) just yet - we'll see how it goes :)
