The Upsides of Self-Isolating: Knitting in Self-Isolation

Last Wednesday I tested positive for Covid-19 so for the first time since the Covid crisis, I'm having to self-isolate 🙁.

Still testing positive after 2 days

Besides the fact that I feel like a prisoner in my own home and not being able to cuddle with my partner (I managed not to pass the infection on to other household members), I'm missing a few days of work, I've had to change my holiday plans and I missed going to a Pixies concert last Friday, which I was devastated about; I couldn't have timed it worse 🙄.

These were the downsides of getting Covid-19; now for the upsides:

1- Since I'm not very sick (I have a bad sore throat and runny nose for about 3 days, my aches and pains were kept under control with paracetamol, I guess this vaccination round & booster paid out), I'm able to work on my knitting projects; Socks on my needles for BBW (my new nickname for the Best Boyfriend in the World), and I made a little bit of progress in sewing my hand knit 3/4 lace sleeve top:

Progress since picture was taken: now both sleeves are closed up.

2- Our planned holiday was originally for 4 days in July, we changed it to a full week in August, even better (more time for yarn shopping abroad 😂).

3- Instead of seeing the Pixies locally, we're going to see them abroad, so a little extra holiday, and also I have something to wear as BBW got me 2 Pixies tops when he went the first time (he gets to see them twice 😎).

Cool T-Shirts: might have to crochet a Rock Festival Skirt now to go with these!

4- Ok, it's a little bit boring to be stuck in my room for 7 days, but I'm an introvert, it's what I do best 😅, I can live with binge-watching Big Little Lies on my Ipad for a little while longer!
