I haven't accomplished much this week. I was sent home from work Monday and didn't go to my second job Tuesday because of the pesky cold. But rest and lots of cough medicine is what I needed.

I finally got around to trying on and taking a picture of my one Shorty Heel Tab Sock . It fits very well. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I decided to knit a Clean Hen Manou for my second dishcloth. I nearly did the whole thing in one sitting....
