Antibodies, and new yarn

Whatever flu-like sickness I contracted has knocked me flat and worked me over, but I'm on the mend. Today I woke up and felt almost human again! So much so, that I could enjoy some of the new yarn from the Tacoma trip this past weekend. It's cotton, and lovely; soft, but not too limp, which should knit up into a nicely-bodied scarf or Mrs. Beetons (although I haven't finished the first set yet. Did I tell you I reversed the right/wrong side when I joined the piece, so that the cuff is formed, but with the purl side out (not what I intended) and the knit side in? aargh)

Thanks to my Secret Pal for the very nice comments on this site; it's so nice to hear from you! I think of you often, knitting in the U.K.

Stay healthy, everyone. I resumed knitting on my purple sweater last night, and how nice it was to get back to it!
