Then I began to read novels, which exactly suited my pep level.
Then, finally, I started to knit again! This suggests, I guess, that I have more energy/brio/strength these days, if not exactly more get-up-and-go (a feeble and piteous hobble-walk is still crimping my style). Incidentally, if you don't think knitting calls for a certain amount of stamina and fortitude, forgive me, but you have never tried intarsia.
Here's a photo of the hat I knit this week for Maximo, the new baby of a childhood friend.
