I am still writing from the plague ship, but feeling better enough to wave, listlessly, from the railing. I offer the back of a slipper as proof of life.

This is actually (nearly) the same as the gray one. I realized I wanted to make a few tweaks, so this is the one you’ll see in the pattern when it appears.

Which actually won’t be too long, as I managed to get these knit and written up before the plague descended. But I still can’t say precisely when, as I am doing some serious resting while I heal.

Many thanks for all the well wishes. For folks asking, yes, everyone got paxlovid. And yes, I am very very very aware of the recommendations to rest for quite a while, even after you’re feeling better, to help stave off long term problems. Hence my grueling nap schedule for the foreseeable future. I am a firm believer in giving your body rest when it asks for it before it comes along and demands it. Much more efficient in the long run.
