I have been knitting, tinking, and shopping. The Smooshy socks are driving me insane. I always forget a yo somewhere and I have to tink back and fix it. The latest tinking took place while I was standing in line at my LYS. They have a big post-Boxing Day/New Year's sale with deep discounts and long line-ups. I got to the store about 5 hours after they opened and the people leaving told me that they'd stood in line (to pay) for about 4 hours. I managed to get in and out in about 2.5 hrs. I was in the pay line (it snaked through the entire store so you just shop while you're waiting to reach the cash desk) for the entire time.
From left to right: Koigu KPPPM, Louet Euroflax, Rowan Colourscape Chunky, Cascade Eco+. Was it worth the wait? I dunno. My favourite (impulse) purchase was this electric Koigu:
The other thing that's keeping me busy is my crochet. I'm teaching my first ever beginner's class this Sunday. I've been busy typing up notes, making samples (they are soaking in Eucalan as I type), and taking pictures:
Not bad considering that I've only got a point and shoot camera.
And I'll leave you with a Ricky picture (he's mad cuz the flash woke him up):

I want the pattern for the shopping bag!!!!
I hope you are feeling better now, but you do have that great new TV and all that pretty new yarn to keep you company until you're all mended. I would say kitties too, but we know how they are...one minute great nurses, and the next, off to do mischief!
