As a result, no fabric sale for me! I was even meant to work there yesterday, but barely shifted from bed.
What I DID manage though, was to cast on for the Tour de France Knit Along (KAL), and miracle of miracles, I managed 6 rounds of rib in the round!! Yay me!!
So I then stopped as I had reached the hard bit. I am trying to decipher the abbreviations from knitty.com and transfer them to the needles.
I am lost when it comes to the lace pattern:
Lace rib (work in the round over a multiple of 5 sts):
Round 1: [p2, k2tog, yo, k1] to end
Rounds 2 & 4: [p2, k3] to end
Round 3: [p2, k1, yo, ssk] to end
Repeat rounds 1-4 for lace rib.
OK, sounds easy? ssk*?? wha'? Slip them where? yo what? Hurting my head... Too. Ambitious. Need. Mum!!
Trying REALLY hard not to toss it aside and do something tried and true...
*(SSK slip 2 stitches as if to knit, then knit those 2 stitches together).

Poor you and poor hubby too.
Muzzy head doesn't help when deciphering ssks.
I hope you get better soon....that knitting looks way too scary and complicated for me!
Bummer, hope you feel better soon...and gee, that looks really complicated. I can't even knit with 2 needles!!
It'll be fine, although I know exactly where you're coming from. SSK's are a pain in the jacksy!
Keep going, you'll get there!
Hope you're both feeling better soon.
Hope the virus is truly gone by now! Your knitting will be ace, it's just hard to work out patterns when your brain is too sick to play along.
Go the knitting! Whoohoo!
Wow! That looks impressive. I've never attempted anything sophisticated like that.
