Don't eat cheetos while knitting.

I'm starting to wonder if I should blog about being sick instead of knitting-I'd be blogging a hell of a lot more often.. I don't remember being sick so often when my older three were little. But since the youngest was born, I  feel like I'm constantly fighting off cold after cold. I keep telling myself that this is his first year of school and that next year will be better. We spent a couple of hours at the emergency room this weekend because B (the 4yr old) had an ear infection. First one for him, first one for me as a mom.

I'm knitting my mother the Winter White hat (free on ravelry). I chose it because it looked fairly simple and had bobbles on it. I've never made bobbles before so yay! I learned something new. I don't actually like the look of bobbles for myself, and have no idea if  my mother does either, but I guess I'll find out.

I also learned that eating cheetos while knitting is not a great idea. Especially with white yarn. Oops. Actually,  it was the coughing (because I'm always effing sick) of orangey spittle from eating the cheetos, on the hat that was the actual problem. I suppose I should title this post "beware of coughing fits while knitting, when you've eaten cheetos, because you will get orangey phlegm all over your wip" instead-but it's very wordy and kind of gross. Btw, I'm not a total barbarian; I did move my head away from the wip, I just wasn't fast enough. Sometimes coughing fits will surprise a gal.

I'm hoping that the little orange spot will wash out :/ I'm using cascade 220  it's not superwash and apparently felts easily so I'm going to wash it by hand as I do most of my knits.And hope for the best.
 I also hope it softens. A lot. I'm finding it rough and scratchy. Maybe my hands have become prima donnas and only want the softest yummiest yarns like Juniper Moon Farm Chadwick (squooshy goodness) or Malabrigo worsted (super squooshy goodness).

 Stupid cheeto phlegm!

I made bobbles! And I still don't like them!

Now, I'm going to do a shot of nyquil and hopefully feel better tomorrow morning!
