A super-fast knit.. and I still have MORE of this skein left! a pair of large socks, a beanie, and possibly something else (small) – what great value!
Rib was 4mm, body was 4.5mm, and done in a day and a bit.
This
And this
are the only FO’s I have to show for April. Why? Because I have carpal tunnel syndrome 
Very bad on the right hand side, and starting on the left. So knitting is a total no-no, even crochet. So um, all those lovely projects I had lined up? Yes, backburner.
HOWEVER, that’s not to say that the creative bug has to hibernate completely! No, there is sewing to be sewn, cooking to be cooked, and more creative outlets to be explored. But damn, do I miss knitting. Badly. And the worst part is not being able to knit my friend’s wedding shawl I feel like I have let her down, but there is really nothing I can do without the use of my hands!
My daybreak shawl is coming along slowly but surely, managing a couple of rows each day..
Crappy pic, sorry. All my online time these days is done via my iPhone, as my desk is covered in shite inaccessible at this time.
I have been pondering on wether or not to continue my blog.. Its become difficult to post about anything personal here, as we are headed back into the Family Court next month. But you know, crafting never hurt anyone, and I love having this creative outlet.
This is where about 99% of my energies are currently going.. feeding, sleeping, cleaning, managing the household again bit by bit, and above all, staying healthy. I do NOT want to end up back in hospital a third time!
So off I go, managing a few stitches here and there, stealing a few moments to plan winter hats, and baby cardigans, and to lament my ambitious soaker sizing during pregnancy. At 3 weeks she is in size 00 – making all but one of my soakers unwearable! Ah well, I will pass them onto smaller bubbas..
I am going to put a bag of my undyed/white wool today, ready for skeining, and ready for the dyepot. I havent been able to use my Landscape dyes for 9 months, and Kool Aid/Food Dye just isnt the same!
That’s not totally true, they are all fine, fine, finished objects. Worth waiting for, every second. Things didnt exactly go to plan (but when do they?) but nothing a few weeks of recuperating and resting at home wont fix..
Welcome to the world, Matilda Elise Helen!
