Actual knitting content, and an update on my meds…

Well, the Lyrica was turning me into a bit of a crazy person, so we’ve switched me to Savella. I’m currently on day four of the titration pack, which has bumped me up to 25mg twice a day. I haven’t noticed a huge difference in the pain levels, but I certainly have a lot more energy. It makes sleeping a little bit challenging, though. I’ve heard that insomnia is the number one most reported side effect, so I’m going to have to work with that. I’ve also heard that taking the second dose 6-8 hours before sleep helps as well. We shall see.

Not much has been going on around here — same stuff, different day. I am planning on getting some knitting done in the next week, but my first project for that will be winding 820 yards of fingering weight yarn into a center pull ball. I want to knit a Clapotis, and I’d love to use the yarn I bought from Ray at Knitivity.  I need to find out if 820 yards is enough for that pattern in fingering.  The color is gorgeous… it’s called “Stonewashed Jeans”.  I swiped the picture from Ray’s website since I haven’t taken one of my own yet:

Pretty!  Now I just need to get off my lazy butt and get started.
