The past week has been pretty much home based for me as I've had a heavy brush with the flu. Not sure if its the H1N1 or regular flu but I do know that its knocked me for six. One week on, I'm still off work and feeling below par. I did the sensible thing and quarantined myself at home with plenty of fluids and lots of rest. Thankfully I'm getting back to normal and hopefully I will be back at work at the weekend. Which will be just in time for me to get my flu jabs at work as apparently the vaccinations start next week.
As I've started to feel better, I've been managing to knit and stitch a bit. Mostly still stitching as it seems to be calling the loudest. And I managed to finish something - Thanksgiving Harvest Fairy by Mirabilia. Its on 32 ct raw linen using the recommended Crescent colors threads.
October is Socktoberfest in the Sock knitting world. My aim is to try and finish some of the socks I have on my needles. First up, the Pumpkin socks I started last September. I've finally managed to finish the first one and I've made a start on the second.
Hopefully I can get them finished before the end of the month.

Congratulations on your finishes.

It's good to hear that you're kicking the bug, Paula. Just be sure to take care to really recuperate fully! We don' t want any relapses!
Sorry to hear you're another victim of the dratted flu bugs - I reckon this years are worse than any I've ever seen! Your latest Mira finish is just gorgeous! :D
Stumbled upon your blog . You have some wonderful stitching . It is very inspiring!! I hope you are feeling better soon. Loved seeing your London pics . We travelled there in summer 2007 and have wonderful memories. Love your Mirabilia work.
I'm so sad you have to suffer like that.
