Ok, so I'm still coughing. My throat is a lot less sore though :-)
I have done some knitting on my Bob and Weave and some on Sam's Pullover, but not much really. I just can't concentrate long enough. I have started an arm warmer, but I'm not sure if I'm going to finish it. I'm using some of the dark blue yarn from Sam's Pullover with a different dye lot. I probably won't need all that much. I have adapted the pattern to this and am making it in the round on dpns. I've doubled the pattern, However I would recommend doing it differently than me. I just cast on 72 stitches and then
*k2 p2* repeat 2x, k12, *p2 k2*repeat 2x, *k2 p2* repeat 2x, k12, *p2 k2*repeat 2x.
I would now recommend doing it like this:
k2, p2, k12, *k2, p2* repeat 2x, *k2, p2* repeat 2x, k12, *k2, p2* repeat 2x k2,p2. I'm making a small cable twist where there are 4 knit stitches and with my start I'm making one cable where the ends meet, i.e. I'm crossing over where one row hasn't yet finished.
Anyway, I'm probably going to rip my start (I'm only maybe 4 or 5 rows into it) and do it again... Or I might make it in a different yarn, maybe the raspberry I'm using for my Bob and Weave.
For Samuels Birthday party I'm going to make Surprise Balls for the guests and of course one for Sam as well, but he'll probably get his on Wednesday already... Then again, Maybe not. I'm not sure ;-)
