Stressed? Then knit (and wash your hands!).

Stressful times call for casting new projects and liftfing the quaratine on current WIPs! 

This week I have been working on a free pattern named "Cotton Lustre Wrap". The yarn, a cotton and linen blend, is providing for a wonderful  drape and texture to the shawl. So far, my hands are not suffering while kntting this. Their mad dryness is due to world record number of hand washing. Let's not even discuss if these three colors go together. Ignore that the combo might remind you of  low calorie, organic and gluten-free naepolitan ice cream. There are bigger fish to catch out there. After all, the yarn is discontinued. Found six skeins on clearance at my LNS --long time ago when social interactions at less than thee feet apart were seen as normal.

Until the next time. Lather, rinse, knit and be kind!

It was my first time using Manos del Uruguay Maxima. The yarn is a pleasure to knit with. Being a single ply must be the reason for the yarn's softness and look. Thanks Clara Parkes for explaining it so well here.  

 

Yesterday I went back to work after taking several days off. Let me tell you, It wasn't easy to suddenly end with my non stop knitting, blog reading, no make up, pony tail days! The teachers at my daughter's day care are probably grateful with me being back to work. I can tell from their faces they feared something was going on. I am sure there is some relief with my "back to normal" look. And yes, the daughter went to daycare during my vacation. No remorse. She loves spending time with her friends; mommy needed some me time.
