Catching
Ladies and Gentlemen, let me begin with a short endorsement: Theraflu (the kind with “warming relief” to be specific) is nothing short of awesome. I might go so far as to call it Miraculous if the second ingredient on the label wasn’t alcohol. Hah!
I am feeling much better.
I even made my Darling Sister (who is coming to visit today YAY!) a little surprise because I love her and often think of her when I am sick.
You know whats. In some Blue Sky Alpaca.
Everybody else is making them. I was really starting to feel left out. They are a quick, interesting knit and a nice break from those socks. They are also probably full of Flu Germs, which is why I changed the name to “Catching.” It had a better ring to it than “Mitts of Death.” Sounds almost cute right? Be sure to remind her of that when she is huddled in bed with chills and fever waiting for the sweet release of death.
Enough sick talk! Look! Kitty!
William Henry, you’re up so high!

Ahhh. Fetching. I may be the last person to make them. Not because they’re not great, bc they are. And in BSA, I bet they’re just perfect!

Glad you’re feeling somewhat better. Love the name change to Catching.

I’m very glad to see that your ravaging illness seems to have left your excellent sense of humor intact.
I remain in the shriveling minority of people who have not made Fetching. Thanks for abandoning me.

William Henry looks quite content on his high perch!! I’m so glad you are feeling better!!! Even more so that your sister is coming for a visit!!!

Fetching looks great! I have yet to finish my first pair… I need to get on that I guess! Will Henry looks adorable!
January 31st, 2007 at 4:23 pm
So glad you’re feeling better!! The fetchings look awesome
January 31st, 2007 at 7:22 pm
Your Catching are Fetching (snort)!’
Glad you’re feeling better.

Good to hear you’re better. Catching is fetching in that creamy white. I’m gong to knit a pair of these one day.
January 31st, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Hope Darling Sister does not catch from fetching
Trying out another play on words, but I pretty much suck at that! Glad you are feeling better. William Henry is getting so big!

Ha! Love the new name. Glad you are feeling better! I’ll have to try Theraflu sometime.

In random order:
*Tell William Henry that I used to annoy our girlie (when she was wee)by lifting her way up and she’d crow, “I’m up high!” and then evil-mommy would say, “What kind of pie?” and girlie would say (indignantly), “No, up HIGH!” and we’d go round and round for about 5 minutes until evil mommy laughed so hard she had to stop.
*Why am I the only person to query why it is that you think often of your Darling Sister when you’re sick?
*So TheraFlu on the rocks with a twist? Or do you have Liquid Grape Tylenel shots with Thera-Flu chasers?
Now I guess I’ll mosey over and introduce myself to Rachel as I have no Fetchings to show for myself, either. Fine. Make me go meet other cool bloggers.

I won’t mention how much Theraflu I took when I was sick for that 2 weeks. Good stuff! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
I’m sure your sister will love her new Catchings. heh

LOL at Mitts of Death. Glad you are feeling better. Hope you have a great visit with your sister!
February 1st, 2007 at 9:29 am
Mitts of Death! THAT is what made me snort! hehehehe *gigglesnort*
You sister will … umm… LOVE them! I know I love the color.

So glad to hear that you are feeling better, Emily! Whoohoo! Your pair of “catching” (I love that) looks great. One might even say they are rather fetching! (booo on the dry humor, I know …ha). Have a great visit with your sister.
February 1st, 2007 at 9:31 am
p.s. I, too, am among the last few who have not yet knit a pair of Fetching. Now you have inspired me. Yay!
February 1st, 2007 at 9:42 am
Glad you are feeling better and I know you will enjoy your visit with your sister.

When in doubt, disctract the blogreader with kitties?
February 1st, 2007 at 2:59 pm
Ack! I’ve been under the weather too, but am much better now - I hope you’re back to normal soon! “Catching” looks lovely - very funny!
February 1st, 2007 at 8:20 pm
You make me laugh…I’m glad you are feeling a bit better, Emily!
February 2nd, 2007 at 9:49 am

William Henry looks all grown up… and so clever up on his perch.

You probably should inclued some of that TheraFlu with your gift for your sister. (Just in case) I like your twist on the name.
William Henry is so cute.
