Sick Day

I'm home sick from work today, sneezing and coughing all over the place, but not feeling quite as half-dead as I have for most of the weekend. I want to start a small from-stash knitting project soon, since I've finished Intolerable Cruelty, so I decided to take my extra-free-time opportunity to go through my stash, take inventory, and organize everything. I have now neatly packaged all my needles and updated the list on Ravelry. I've also chucked things I no longer want (a few little yarn remnants, old printed-off-the-internet patterns I've finished, etc.). It turns out that I have approximately a metric buttload of worsted-weight acrylic yarn in a variety of colors, thanks mostly to the Three Little Cardis project. I also have a rather decent amount of organic cotton (certainly enough for a baby sweater), and a bunch of other stuff. What I do NOT have, apparently, is a working brain that can make decisions or come up with ideas. I blame my cold. My favorites and queue on Ravelry are no help: most of the things I have there, I need to buy yarn for them. I might just do the "EXFOLIATE!" Dalek washcloth. Yeah, that might be best. I'm a little leery of it because a strong mercerized cotton would probably be best for a washcloth, but the idea of making bobbles with cotton makes me cringe. No stretch, you know? Meh. Maybe I'll just use some of that acrylic and use it as a decoration instead of a functional washcloth.
