I had an appointment this afternoon with my pulmonologist and, literally as I was running out the door to make the appointment, I grabbed a teeny ball of yarn (leftovers from this) and a set of needles and stuffed them into my purse. Turns out it was a good thing that I remembered to bring some knitting with me, because the doctor had been delayed at the hospital and I had to wait (nearly 90 minutes) before he was able to see me. I cast on and knitted this much

of a teeny baby hat. It turns out I don’t have nearly as much of that yarn as I thought I did, but still, it kept my fingers busy and my mind active while I sat in the waiting room. I feel bad for E5 though. He was such a little trooper and waited so patiently. Also, I used the free wi-fi in the office to download angry birds for him to play, so that helped. Knitting and wi-fi, 2 things I cannot live without. And, it turns out, I can live without as much asthma medication as I have been taking. So it’s a WIN all around!

I did it! I managed to uncouple the warp field array on this damn sweater and actually make some progress on it! Last night I cast it off and gave it a quick wash. Holy crap did this yarn relax when it got wet. The sweater is meant to be big and roomy but not as big and roomy as it was when I pulled it out of the wash. I laid it flat and let it sit over night and when I got up this morning, I actually tossed its stubborn, still-damp self into the dryer for 5 minutes. That was just the ticket; it tightened back up nicely.

All it needs is some buttons to hold it shut and I’m all set! w00t!
