Fleece on Earth

H. got the flu last week. I guess it was the flu. High fever, sore throat... it's settled in her chest now and she is still convalescing. She did go to her concert on Monday (for which we sewed a "poodle" skirt that had a kitty on it instead) but I still don't think she's even back to 85%. I got it over the weekend but took Oscillococcinum sooner than I'd given it to H., poor little thing, so I am going back to work tomorrow; I think she's staying home another day though.

I did get my Lavish Laces alpaca stole finished, though, and I've started another one, the Falling Leaves, with some of my handspun. I'm not sure about the handspun, though - I think in my attempt to make sure that it was well plied, I overplied it. *sigh* The only thing I can think is to unply it a little bit, which seems like a tremendous task.

I'll try to get a picture of the alpaca stole. I washed it but haven't blocked it. I've never really blocked anything larger than a sweater! Guess I'll have to take it to my mom, but that would obviate giving it to her later as a present...
