Taking It Easy

A major head cold took me down last week.  When I think back, this cold actually started brewing the week before, but it hit me with a 
one-two punch last week and I landed in bed for several days.  I usually muddle along through most colds, so the fact that this one took me out of commission and kept me from knitting is a testament to just how bad it was.

The doctor told me to take it easy.  I must admit I've never been very good at following that advice, but I didn't have much choice this time around.  Over the weekend when I could sit on the couch propped up with needles in hand, I knew I was on the road to recovery.  Today I'm still a little wobbly, but I'm upright and functioning on some level.

I didn't tackle anything too adventurous when I was recovering on the couch.


Wavy Legs.  This hat has a nice deep brim, and interesting combinations of knit and purl stitches make for a cozy, squishy fit.

The yarn is Lucia DK in Heliotrope.  Other options . . . make it without the pompom or add a strand of mohair for a soft halo.  There's nothing like a good hat to boost the spirits.
