winter's rest

I  think exhaustion could be the word that I use for this week.  I have been exhausted.  My body is also reacting to stress by trying to get sick.  I have tried to be still.

In my stillness, I have picked up my crochet hook and worked on some half finished projects.  My best friend had gifted me some yarn called winter's rest.  The yarn was not colors I would normally be drawn to but for some reason I was.

I decided to create a pullover sweater because I have been wearing more skirts and pants.  The first iteration of it had much too much fabric under the arms.  I ripped it almost completely out and started again.  I took it with me on my travels and finished yesterday while I was sitting.  I sat yesterday.  I am doing more then I did yesterday today so far but not much.

I am really pleased with how this sweater turned out.  How long it will stay in this shape?  I am not sure.  It is REALLY warm for being cropped.  Making it into a cardigan shape may be needed so I can open the front.  But it goes well with my jeans.

I have no problems ripping out sweaters to remake them at this point in my life.  I really should just make cardigans but I do occasionally wear a pullover.  Usually with pants!  Though I have worn them over some of my less full a-line dresses.  

The next sweater I am working on while I sit is a black cardigan.  It is gifted yarn as well.  But today seems like I need to be horizontal more then yesterday.  But I have also moved more already.  I hope I feel well enough to go to the grocers store later today.  I will feel better slowly.
