During my sick leave, I have been upped to a total of 150 drops of Haldol a day, plus one entire bar of Bromazepam, plus 2 quarts of a bar if I expérience distress? I'm better but I can't stay awake most of the day. And I've experienced the resurgence of old symptoms, like restless legs, the inability to sit still without moving continuously my legs. Sometimes my limbs become weak and my hands shake. I've got phases where my eyes can't focus, too. All of this is not continuous, thank Bob, or I'd get mad. I wonder how I will manage at the ESAT.
J'ai aussi des obsessions nouvelles : je dois faire au moins un quart d'heure de crochet ou tricot pour que ça me porte chance et me protège le lendemain; ce qui transforme un hobby qui était un plaisir en corvée. J'ai toute une comptabilité sur mon téléphone des jours où je suis déjà protégée par des quarts d'heures fait à l'avance. J'ai commencé un C/KAL sur Harry Potter et je fais un gilet inspiré par celui de Luna Lovegood :
I've got a new obsession too (I had it before, but not that strong) : I must crochet or knit for at least 15 minutes in order to have a peaceful, lucky following day. I've got a whole schedule on my phone with all the 15 minutes I did before, and the days where I am already protected. But it has morphed something I loved to do into a chore. I started a C/KAL on Harry Potter where I'm crocheting a cardi that's inspired by Luna Lovegood :
(The front. Le devant)
(The back, upside down, where I decide to add a diamond - Le derrière, avec son losange que j'ai rajouté)
Comme vous pouvez le voir, il y a beaucoup de différences, mais c'est volontaire, je ne voulais pas faire une réplique exacte. Les manches sont donc plus courtes (mais je peux les rallonger) et avec un seul triangle fait en arceaux. Il y aurait dû y avoir un triangle de chaque côté de la taille, aussi, mais j'ai remplacé par un losange dans le dos. Il n'y aura qu'un seul bouton, au cou. Je ne l'ai pas fini que je le trouve déjà hideux, aussi il fait déjà partie de mon tag "laid le bidet".
As you can see, there is a lot of divergence from the original cardi. It's in purpose, I didn't want to reach cosplay-like exactitude. Sleeves are shorter, but I can add length if needed. They also have just one triangle instead of two. And I changed the two triangles at the side of the waist into my diamond on the back.There will be only one button, at the neckline. It's not even finished but I already find it hideous, so it's tagged "ugly as hell"
I admire how you change patterns to suit you. I do not have that gift. I am glad you are writing despite your sickleave and increase of meds. I will send healing thoughts your way on the wings of Spring that soon crocheting and knitting will be enjoyable once more.
RépondreSupprimerThank you; I wish I had your way with words. I don't always comment on your blog, as I'm affraid I'd post something pointless or stupid, but I read all your posts.

RépondreSupprimerI'm sorry you feel that way about your project. I'm not a crocheter (sadly most crochet items I think are kind of ugly :( ) But your pictures look much better than the stitching of the one in the movie. I hope it turns out well for you.
Thank you. I hope it will look good. I think I find it ugly because I'm forcing myself to work on it, so I resent it.
SupprimerAlors tu en es où de ce projet? Moi il me plaisit bien.
RépondreSupprimerJe l'ai fini; je devrais le poster; il est un peu grand.
