Unfortunately, the only way to deal with this disease once you've contracted it is to knit through Ysolda Teague's entire pattern catalog. I didn't realize just how sick I was until I counted how many things I've knit from this list: Elijah (below), Liesl, Gretel, Coraline, Garter Stitch Mitts, Tiny Shoes, Vivian, Icing Swirl, Veyla, Damson (twice), & Ishbel (thrice).
The strength of my infection comes from the fact that I contracted it directly from the source, so I strongly warn you to not touch anything at a Ysolda trunk show or when meeting the designer in person. Honestly, I don't think I'll be cured anytime soon. Especially because I keep seeing more and more Ysolda patterns in my fever dreams: Ripley, Cria, Rose Red, Emily Capelet, Peaks Island Hood, Snapdragon Tam, & Smith. Pray for me.

Great! I will do also ....
What also helps... more cowbell!

I cast on Peaks Island Hood this past Tuesday for a local KAL our LYS is doing. I'm enjoying it, and am sure you will too, if you like seed stitch... :)
Oh sweetie - you are in my thoughts and prayers. Heal fast!
(But not too fast. That stuff's adorable.)

love the picture- only thing protecting me from Coraline is my inability to use the provisional cast-on.
Helga-
Provisional cast-on is not that bad. I use the crochet-chain method, which is really easy. See this post by TechKnitter: http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2006/12/provisional-casting-on.html for a how-to.
(See how good I am at enabling and passing on the fever?)
