I couldn't sleep this weekend. Friday night I got a few hours of sleep, but Saturday...nothing. I couldn't get my eyes to shut at all. It was around 2 p.m. before I finally got a bit of sleep and then only an hour. I had to go to the store to pick up a prescription so I needed that hour of sleep before I felt safe to drive.
Unfortunately, I didn't dare take any tramadol for the pain because I knew I would be driving and while I can normally take it and drive, not when I haven't slept. I didn't get back to sleep until around 4 a.m. this morning but I slept until 2 p.m. Albeit with frequent sleep interruptions, such as the dog needing out and Tom coming in to pet the dog.
So I feel a bit better today but still very sluggish and dragging.
I got a lot of knitting done over the weekend but I had to frog the pink child's sweater because I just didn't have enough yarn to finish it. I can make a baby sweater out of it though. Although my pattern is missing the pages for the pullover front. I suppose I could just make baby cardigans, which are better anyway because pulling a sweater over the head of a wriggling baby is difficult. I found some Red Heart SS yarn on sale for $2 a skein so I picked up enough to make a child's sweater out of it. It's a Claret Fleck which is turning out nicely. Or would if it didn't feel so dry. I know from experience that after a washing the Red Heart sweaters feel just as nice as the other acrylics but knitting them isn't the most pleasant experience.
I also started a baby sweater in Bernat Baby Sport because I wanted to work with something soft while dealing with the RH yarn. It's a pink, white and green varigation and is turning out nicely. I'm not as fond of cardigans because of the buttonholes but I'll figure it out.
I finished up the front and back of the baby swing sweater but I had to make adjustments to the sleeves. Since I'm using a thicker yarn, I'm knitting on the number of stitches for a newborn and sizing it for a one year old. But the sleeves have to end up sized for a one year old as well and the pattern doesn't allow for gradual increases. So I'm going to have to knit it using the one year old size. I just hope it's not too big and baggy. Otherwise I'll just make it a vest or something.
Well, I need to find a cool place to relax before starting supper. Hard to think of it since we just had lunch: a salad with grilled chicken breast. I'll wait until it cools off a bit before I fix supper.
To be honest, I could go back to sleep. If I thought I could get back to sleep tonight, I would do it but I've got to get some normal sleep pretty soon.
