It's finally Friday!

Promising developments. I went swimming for the first time. In my life, I've spent thousands of hours in the water, but never swimming laps. I just got my first goggles and swimcap through mail order this week and boy, do I look stylin' in them.
PT went well today - the therapist thinks the root of my problem is my shoes/feet. I have another set of exercises and instructions to go shopping for new running shoes.

To the knitting ~

Okay, another bothersome feature of weekdays - it's too dark when I'm home to take photos. So, here is a pic of the Icelandic sweater last weekend - post cutting. Damage done. Scary.

I finished all of the trim - neck, placket, and sleeves, with an attached i-cord. Then I started adding a grosgrain trim (the zipper was a utter failure), then decided to block it before finishing the trim.
I sewed in many, many, many ends.

Here it is drying in the cold sunshine with its attached i-cord trim. It smells a bit sheepy, so I prefer to dry it outside. Still work to do, but she's coming along!
The one downer of the weekend - Robert has been diagnosed with pneumonia. He's feeling okay, but bummed. He's not very good at resting (like someone else I know). I'm going out of town this weekend to visit friends - which I'm very excited about - but I am sad to leave him home sick and alone.

A final note - a little sunny joy inside!
Have a happy weekend!
