Spring; New Project

First off, who doesn't like pictures of flowers in spring?  A month ago the first crocuses bloomed, though it has also snowed a couple times.  The daffodils are opening up to the newly arrived sun, and today I saw miniature Iris!


I did some (mental) work on the jumper.  I measured myself side seam-to-side seam across the front and back hip, discovering that my back is 10cm wider.  The jumper back is 4 or 5cm wider, so now I know what changes to make.





The project I'm really excited about, since I can work on it with strep or migraines or whatever (oh yeah, it's been an exciting month): a shawl pattern inspired by Estonian lace.  It uses unusual lace knitting techniques and I'm knitting a new-to-me shape.  Here's a beautiful example of modern lace inspired by tradition.

The shawl so far

Migraine

*cue thunderclap*

No sewing has happened because I've had a migraine, basically since Thursday.  Which also makes it hard to type, dammit.  The quilt is still partly quilted, no progress there.  I've slept a lot...watched some movies, got dinner with a friend, snuggled with the cats.

Hopefully I start feeling better soon and can finish the quilt!  I have PT tomorrow, and that usually helps.  I was looking forward to a low-key weekend, but not this :/
