  1. 8 Months On

    May 17, 2011 by sunrisesister

    This week is a big one. It was our anniversary on Monday, Tille turned 16 months old yesterday, and it’s my birthday this weekend. But my mind is elsewhere..

    A pretty non-descript photo, right? Well, yeah. It’s 8 months since my spine decided to gang up against me, and I was left bedridden, in and out of hospital, reliant on heavy pain medication and friends to (literally) pick me up, and then using a walking frame to get around. The good news is, 8 months later I am functioning again as normal, and I am oh so very grateful for this. Mobility is something I dont take for granted any more.

    I have never experienced pain like that before (and I have had 4 kids!) and I dont care to again, thanks!

  3. FO: PSC2011 February Socks

    February 21, 2011 by sunrisesister

    This is my first post-surgery FO! Perhaps diving straight back into 4 ply was a little extreme, but that was the luck of the draw.. literally!

    Feb personal sock club - pink ms gusset!

    Not a great photo, I admit, but I am hoping the recipient will model them for me, when they reach her ;)

    Pattern: Anklet-style adaptation of the Colinette Jitterbug ballband pattern

    Yarn: ms. gusset sock yarn in a bright hot variegated pink. (I nicknamed it Barbie Car)

    Sticks: 2.5mm DPN’s

    Size: EUR 39/UK6/AUS7

    Rav Link

    Nice, quick, and very pleasing! It’s good to be back!


  4. Healing

    February 7, 2011 by sunrisesister

    Neat

    Well, I am pleased to report that my arm is healing well, and just two weeks after surgery, I am itching to knit! I have done a small amount of spinning, but no knitting or crochet yet, and no blogging!

    It is done. Pre-washnwhack

    Meanwhile, my February sock yarn has been selected, but it is taunting me from the stash shelf until I have the go-ahead to knit :(

    My ravelry queue has exploded, and I am sending myself crazy by looking at patterns… gah!
