Illness and knitting
There has been much illness, of the vomiting variety. Not good. We got back from our lovely weekend late Sunday, the Christening went very well and my clever Godson managed not to cry once, well not until the vicar took him for dunking, her hands were very cold and he cried loudly into her microphone which I think shows excellent communication skills. Anyway, Monday morning I woke up feeling very nauseous and things went down hill rapidly from there. The Technical Advisor had to deal with dinner and managed to be pretty creative with what little was available but Tilly sat at the table and was immediately sick, her brother started some time in the night. The Technical Advisor earned gold stars for dealing with all of this while I lay pathetically in my sick bed. He began feeling ill by morning.... Thankfully we all seem to be a whole lot better now.
The quilt obviously was not completed and I feel much better about it all now that the pressure is off, I expect to finish the top this week, it is very almost done in fact and will start the quilting next week.
Other unfinished objects include the Denim. The knitting was finished a few weeks ago but I haven't been able to face sewing, I will soon, very soon.
Meanwhile there has been this. Betty from Rowan 38. I love this Yorkshire Tweed, the colour, the yarn, perfect. The pattern proved to be a little less mindless than I was hoping, every other row requires the stitch to be increased which isn't very much fun but I do like the fabric it creates and all being well I think this will be a much worn knit. I have completed the back and two front pieces so far, just the sleeves to go but obviously at some point I must tear myself away from this and complete the darn denim. Soon, very soon....
Due to all the illness, and subsequent washing, I am a bit behind with replying to comments, thank you so much for all the comments and opinions on the quilt, it really is so helpful. I will reply slowly but surely.

Sorry you've all been ill - it's so fantastic when you get better though, isn't it? Except for all the catching-up to do, of course.
You shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself to reply to all the comments. Everyone understands (especially me - I'm particularly bad at that!). Take care.
Sorry to hear you have been sick - but glad to hear that you are on the mend.
Your knitting is gorgeous. I am very curious about the denim.
All the best....
How well I remember the cry of "I barfed!" in the middle of the night from one of my children. There is nothing like it to jolt you from a sweet sleep. I hope all tummies at your house are soon settled down. My mom used to give me ginger ale with the bubbles stirred out. It was soothing.

I hope everyone is feeling better.
I love the colour of that yarn - its gorgeous!!
