Still sick

[thrihyrne]

Tired of coughing, and being congested, but at least yesterday's head pressure that didn't relent until about 2/3 the way through my 12-9 shift has been absent today. Thinking healing thoughts, and did have a lovely soak in the nearby hot tub again.

And, there's socks! The only reason why evannichols isn't drowning in hand-knitted goods from me is, well, a variety of reasons, mostly to do with a wool allergy and not being a sweater person. I did manage to make him a pair of purple wool socks after going on an outing for him to have a 'fiber feel-up' to see what felt good. We actually were able to find a super-soft 100% wool (Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Sport in case you're interested) and he picked a glorious royal purple.

So here are pictures via Ravelry! http://ravel.me/Thevina/hws

Wow, those socks are gorgeous! I love looking at knitting.

Now I want to spend the day brainstorming things an expert knitter could make for a wool-allergic boyfriend who runs too hot for sweaters. (Tea cozy! Um. A very masculine tea cozy?) You're obviously at the level of fiber artist.

When you wrote 'a very masculine tea cozy,' I thought immediately of a penis cozy! I was so intrigued by those that I used it in a Ron/Draco story I was writing at the time, lol. I do love my fibers and needles, it's true. ♥

Is there such a thing as a penis cozy? I had no idea.

You betcha!!
I found the fic I'd referenced it in (http://www.thrihyrne.net/cosifanpene.html) and was relieved to see that I'd saved the picture on my own website. Doubtless the link where I found it is long broken. But now with Ravelry, I suspect there are several penis cozy patterns! ;)
