Pink sock and a cold

I've been home all day today.  I am stuffy with a runny nose while wearing the pink sock I knitted and while I am knitting the second of the pair. I am planning how to photograph the two when the second is finished.

Thank goodness for radio.  WQXR and XM Radio have kept me company all day. I listened to the end of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, some Stravinsky, Beethoven and now some Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. I arranged to hear Kathleen Battle at Carnegie Hall on Monday. I may have to stay home.

Looking through my notebook of patterns, I found a perfect baby blanket for my doctor who is having a baby. I want to use Baby Ull by Dalegarn.  Some say it is not washable; some say that it is washable. I want to use a soft washable yarn for the 48" square blanket. The cost of the Baby Ull is prohibitive. Maybe an acrylic will work. It may be a good idea to use acrylic since we don't know if the baby will be allergic to wool. I don't like using acrylic.

I asked my LYS to order some sock yarn for me and I haven't heard from them yet.
