Divinely Crafty

I printed out instructions for Cleo from Knitty. No clue if I will ever finish or wear it, but it will occupy my needles until I get distracted by something else. I am a bonafied ADD knitter. I cannot stay focused on one project. Now on my 4th frogging of various bag inspirtaions with my totally hippy BFL, I have set that aside for a bit. Still plugging away at the broadripple socks, but having actually gotten interested in the actual World Cup (I know, I know…hangs head…) my World Cup Knitting has lagged a bit as well. My mom brought me some cotton yarn per my request for plain, cheep cotton. She brought somewhat of an odd color combination of yarns so not sure what to make, but we shall see…perhaps inspiration will hit.

My machines are calling me more these days too. I went shopping this weekend and bought a dress. That is a big step for me to have purchased something ready made. It felt good, but also got my wheels turning as I tried on stuff making notes of elements that I liked and how to construct them. I have about 10 yards of hemp tencel in my closet and think I may be about to draft a pattern for a summer dress. We are going on holiday to Germany and Italy (and points surrouding) in 6 weeks and I will need so easy care,easy travel things for the trip. 3 weeks of car camping with 5 people in August in Europe. Blissfully the bulk of it will be on the grounds of a lovely Vineyard with a dear friend. And I am also hooking up with another friend and her son, who is pals with my oldest girlie.

I still have these horridly itchy hive things on my legs. I am considering a total detox. We’ll see how this week goes. My homeopath is on holiday until Wednesday. She gave me a remedy to treat the hives but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I have noticed some on my arms now. They are weird. I am concerned it may be an excema sort of thing. I am almost 100% convinced they are stress related. My parents left yesterday, after which Axel and I turned into zombies. We were shell shocked from the visit I think. My eye is twitching today, which is my usual signal that I am dog ass tired. I have loads of work to do, but I think that it may get pushed aside for a walk or something. Not sure I really need to take a nap. My head needs more clearing at this point.
