Monday, LM woke up with a fever and we battled that all day. Tuesday and Wednesday were the same. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and my suspicions were confirmed. He had a virus. So, medications were dispensed and I came back to work on Thursday.
But, the good thing about a mini vacation (or should I say time off work) is knitting time. Here is LM's sweater and hat. The hat was finished up on Friday I think (last Friday) and the sweater has been done for a week or so also.
The quilt that he is laying on was a gift from my mom. Here it is....
I love John Deere and this quilt is perfect for Friday "movie night" where we lay on the floor, pile up pillows, and eat pizza and popcorn!

I also finished my Trekking "Easter Egg" socks
I love them. They are so soft. I'm totally sold on Trekking now.
I have started my Strange Little Mama socks which I have re-named the Wicked Witch of the East socks. Why you ask?
They totally remind me of the socks the witch had stuck out on the Wizard of Oz. I remember them in black and white, so the colors could have been anything you imagined. I think these would have been the way to go out in style.
I also mailed my Hurricane Sock party package today. I hope my pal loves it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
I also got a new intern today. (yippee!) so hopefully I'll be getting a little more done at work from now on.
Have a great weekend!

Your Little Man is so cute! He's hamming it up for the camera, isn't he?! The sweater and hat set turned out great...
I'm glad you like the Trekking. Although it is so much thinner than some of the popular hand-dyed sock yarn available, it washes and wears so well. I'm knitting some socks for hubby with trekking at the moment. Will show a pic update soon. Your sock colors do look like Easter egg dye, don't they?
He is just adorable! Melissa, you did such a great job on the sweater and hat!
I'm sorry he was sick, I hope I didn't send it your way. lol
Love the socks, too! I love Trekking!
Littleman is so cute! And the sweater looks great on him.
Add another bizzaro thing to the list. My mom is a quilter too (I'm not).
Your son is adorable in his hat and sweater...I love the quilt too..my sister is into John Dere etc....I have used trekking and it is nice to work with altho I found it knit up big for me...
Little Man is too cute in that hat and sweater! Congrats on the new intern...hopefully she'll keep your coffee filled and hot ;o)
So sorry to hear about LM's virus. We have had our share around here too. Those socks look great. Good job on the hat and sweater too...maybe one day I'll have the guts to try a sweater.
Awww, looks like LM is feeling better. What a gorgeous quilt!! And congrats on finishing the socks, they are so springy!
It looks like Little Man is feeling better now - I'm so glad to see that. He looks quite dashing in his new hat and sweater. I love your socks too. :)
Love the Hat and Sweater! He so darn cute! Oh and the easter egg socks are quite pretty:)
I can hardly wait to see the witchy poo socks:)
Love Little Man's sweater! It came out great, he's such a ham :)
What a great quilt! I am happy to see the John Deere fabric is popular all over.
Little Man looks great in his sweater and hat (making me feel mighty warm, though).
Hi Melissa,
Your sweater, hat, and socks are awesome. LM is adorable too. Thanks for checking out my blog, and for your sweet comment about my LW.

Your socks, sweater, blanket and little man are all gorgeous!! Thanks for your comment on my blog and telling me that there is an opening for a librarian in LA. I'd love to have a job, but I'm stuck in the upper Midwest--which I love. Hot weather really does me in. I have an uncle in Baton Rouge who keeps inviting us to visit. Maybe one day.
Wow! What a great job on the sweater and hat!
Sorry I've been such a poor correspondent lately--I've been swamped with work. I didn't even have time to look up your e-mail address to respond to the comments you so kindly left on my blog. But I'm starting to emerge from the work and have something to send you! I'll try to get to the post office this week.
The quilt looks beautiful, too! It's . . . SEW inspiring! (Couldn't help myself there, sorry.)
I love the sweater/hat combo that LM has on. VERY nice. LOve the quilt too. Just perfect for cuddling on/in. And those socks are really nice!!! What size needle did you use? It looks like a zero or a one.....
LM looks adorable in his sweater. The quilt from your Mom is really cool.
oh my goodness he is so cute in that sweater and hat!!!
Let me say that your socks look soooo comfey!
