Things are low key this week here. I managed to stress myself into a bout of shingles. It is most thankfully a mild case but I’ve slowed way down while I let my body heal. I’ve been trying to take a break from everything but have still managed a few rows of knitting here and there.
Nothing new and exciting to report – another pair of these fingerless mitts for a sweet little friend, more decreasing on my Rae, a little more of my secret knit. I’m not making myself any knitting promises this week but I just may clear some needle space for the last little hurricane hat and the plain vest I’ve been itching to get started on…or maybe that’s just the shingles…
In reading I’m still working my way through An Irish Country Doctor. Such a nice, gentle read. It’s not griping, challenging or terribly enriching but just perfect for me right now.
And now I’m off to rest up and get better. Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you feel better soon! Get some rest and enjoy your book.
Secret knitting. I like that. Sorry to hear about the shingles. It is good to lay low (as much as you can with six little people needing you).
I hope you’re feeling better soon!
Oh, Rachel! I hope you feel better soon.
Oh dear, I hope you’ll feel much better soon.
Mitts might get bumped to the top of my list after this mornings bike ride in the freezing wind..
oh no! i do hope you are taking it easy and relaxing. shingles are no fun – my sympathies.
Rachel, I knew from your last post that you were stressed,but I didn’t know it was this bad! I hope you are now just laying around,relaxing and taking care of yourself. Years ago, when my children were small my mother inlaw told be I needed to take care of myself first or I wouldn’t be able to take care of anyone else. True words that I now pass on to you my friend. Much love.

I love that little vest, must make one. Rachel I can’t believe you are dealing with shingles. So unfair! Again wishing I was close by and could bring you a warm meal. I’m thinking of you tons.
Oh goodness Rachel! I sure hope you feel better soon. I’ve heard shingles can be very painful. Sending lots of healing thoughts your way.
Oh no! Rest and heal up quickly!
I’ll have to check out your hurricane hats again, they seem oddly appropriate today…
Feel better soon!
Shingles does not sound like a fun time! I hope you feel better soon, and are able to relax a little and read your book 🙂
Rest and feel better soon! I will be wishing you well.
I’m so sorry you got the shingles! My husband had them a few years ago and they weren’t fun at all. Rest up and get better quickly.
Hope you feel better!
Oh Rachel, I am so sorry!! Please take care and feel better soon!
And I am still loving that yarn!!

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. xo
Dear Rachel, sorry I have not been commenting much- I have been visiting! I love that Rae you’re working on! <3
Oh, and feel better, Mama!
I hope you feel better really soon. Take it easy and listen to your body. Hugs
oh no Rachel. I hope you are feeling better and I hope whatever was causing the stress is alleviated as well during your time of taking it easier. The knits looks beautiful, and I am very intrigued by the book you are reading.
