Recovery is in progress - after the flotation session I was able to knit 5 whole rows on Thursday night, 51 sts per row in 4ply! It felt like a major achievement.
Friday started early with a visit to an acupuncturist and curtesy of the needles I felt able to make a flying visit up to Yorkshire to deliver the family presents and spend some time with my Mum, 2 of my sisters and 2 nieces. I returned to London last night and was able to do some small amount of knitting again - 10 rows this time! The project on the needles only has 172 rows left to go until I get to the interesting lace bit so at this rate the xmas present may well be finished for Valentine's day! I will post photos later when there is more to see.
The train journey gave me time to read the latest IK and the decision has been reached - I will rip out my ill-fated attempt at the Coco jacket from earlier this year (moss-stitch kills my hands) and will make the Di Gilpin's Winter Star jacket instead. I think a visit to the copy shop will be called for though as the squares of the chart are impossible to see.
Posted by Yvonne at December 18, 2005 09:56 AMI was just wandering through various knit blogs and came upon yours today. Glad you are feeling better and I really love the Winter Star jacket in IK this month too. Will have to see if I have enough yarn in my stash attempt it. Best wishes for the coming year.
Posted by: Bana at December 26, 2005 01:17 PMGlad to hear that you are feeling a little better. What a drag though to be laid up from knitting - I hope that you will soon be back to full speed. Winter Star jacket will be lovely on you. I t will really suit you. If I didn't have so much going all ready I would like to make one too. Carol.
PS Thank you to you and Sue for sharing photos of her fabulous studio a couple of posts back. How wonderful that must be to have everything organized like that in drawers etc. Loved the cape too.
I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better but take it easy.
Posted by: blueadt at December 19, 2005 12:11 PMGood to hear you can knit again. A few years ago I had a long period when I could only knit for about 10 minutes at a time with a VERY LONG break in between. Not at all funny!
