Project Spectrum begins!
Hmmm... I knew there was a reason I don't do more crafts. My house would turn into one giant scrap pile!
Well, I'm fully recuperated from the Olympics and ready to get back to blogging again. In a strange turn of events, yesterday at work I fainted, fell straight backwards, and hit my head on the marble floor. One of my co-workers drove me to the emergency room, where I mostly sat around for 6 hours, had a few blood tests, and they sent me home with the diagnosis: "People just faint sometimes." I feel fine except a massive headache where I hit my head. I know that in the ER they are really more concerned about the people gushing blood, so I'm going to go see my regular doctor in a few days to make sure I'm okay.
Anyhoo, back to crafting, yes? As you can see, I've been hard at work for my PS Postcard Swap. I also finished the One-Skein Wonder for Jeannine (no photo - it's a surprise!) and Cutaway!!!!!
The arms are a little long, which I actually like, but the sleeves also seem too big. I made the smallest size (and I'm usually a "medium" not a "small.") the wierd thing is that the body of the sweater seems to fit me fine. So maybe I'm just used to storebought sweaters with super-tight sleeves... who knows. I'll try to post a picture later today so you can see for yourself!
I've also started my first charity knitting project (ever - oh, the shame!) for 40 Days for Others. I'm making a pair of the Super Mittens from Weekend Knits in a hand-dyed buly yarn from handpaintedyarns.com. I originally bought the yarn to make a scarf, got it in the mail and hated it, but I love the way it knits up in a small project like a glove - it almost looks like subtle stripes. Okay, I'm going to stop before you hunt me down and demand photos!

I was admiring your craft box and then read about your fainting spell. Scary! Had you ever fainted before?
Your OSW is progressing... I'll be finished shortly and will send it out at the beginning of next week. Fun!

Gosh, how scary to just faint! And OWICH!!! Your poor noggin! Next time, faint on the carpet okay? Or at least next to a strong man who can catch you before you hit the floor (preferably the latter).

Ouch! So apparently the Dr's explanation was along the lines of "getting the vapors"?
Hope you feel better! Can't wait to see the postcard! :D

Um, get your hind end to the doctor and get that checked out. People do not just faint for no reason! Or, at least I hope there's some explanation. The postcard looks great. I really need to do a little paper shopping this weekend. Get that camera out and share those photos!

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about that whole fainting thing. You should get that checked out. Do you have low blood sugars?
Yea for Postcard Swap! I am hoping to get mine together and mail it out this week ;)

ERs suck - from a former ER nurse. The nurse Kellie in me says if you faint again, start throwing up or any other random odd things - go back to the ER. Even though they suck! :) Hope you are better.
