Sorry for the lack of posting. I have had a few health problems for all of November and this first half of December. Mostly a never-ending sinus infection with 2 colds on top of that, then the most recent cold travelled to my lungs and made my asthma flare up :( I'm on my second round of anti-biotics for the sinus infection and a round of Prednisone for the asthma. If you have ever been on Pred, then you probably know it's like Speed. Be ware if you call me on the phone, I may just talk your ear off!
Then there was the issue with my bum thumb - de quervain's tenosynovitis - trigger finger -- whatever you want to call it, my hand has been in pain since September. I finally went to the doctor and she told me to take ibuprofen, wear a thumb brace and then do hand exercises until it didn't hurt anymore. Well, the pain didn't go away, so I went in again. They told me there wasn't anything more they could do and so I was referred to a hand specialist who fixed me up in 5 minutes with a lovely cortisone shot! Knitting is sure a heck of a lot easier when your hand is not hurting all the time!
So, now that I can knit without pain, here are some things I knitted up the last two weeks!
Neck scarf using a merino/angora handspun made with fur from my friend's rabbit Fast Feet
pattern: Stash by Donyale Grant
two crochet bracelets for my friend's daughters, no pattern, just made it up as I went along.
Hat for my friends' son. SW Merino/Angora. no pattern.
Twilight mitts for my friend Jen for Christmas. Alice Mitts by Nancy Fry
