My situation now

I feel my voice is a bit stronger now, but I do not dare to
even try to sing. I just move my lips...if you get the
point. Singing silent...ARGH!!! I'd love to sing aloud, but
I must spare my voice. If I do not do that, it may lose -
for good. That I'd hate. Thanks for being there for
me...Time and honey...I believe they work...but I must keep
that recipe of yours in mind.

Pirjo,
I can't help you with your knitting question, but I am sure
someone here
will. But for your throat- My favourite recipe for sore
throat is - mix 2
tablespoons apple cider vinegar with a cup of warm water.
Gargle twice,
swallow the mixture slowly. Do this at least 2 times an
hour. It should
clear up your problem quite quickly.

Well..maybe I am gonna a bit selfish and start from myself
and my health. This summer is crazy. First it took my
lungs.
Now it has stolen my voice almost completely. I can't sing
at all and can hardly talk. I have drunk 2 cups of tea
with
honey today, and the voice goes worse and worse. I really
can not talk! Guess who is frustrated...Lucky me I can
still
knit and write. Those skills the conditions can not take
from me. And that is a good way to go into my question.
First...There is a sweater under a process. The
owner-to-be
is my sister. I have knitted a bit the back. First mission
was to cast on 72 stitches. No troubles for that. The
second
part was to knit 4 cm like this: knit 2, purl 2. Well...I
did a bit too much....7 cm. Anyway...then I had to add the
stitches...8 stitches. I managed to do that too. Now to my
question. The pattern says I should knit stockinette
untill
there is...25 cm done. With the 2 knit 2 purl - part or
without it? That is the point I'd like to know. Should I
take the ribbing part with or leave it out when I take
measures?
