on knitting lace, and nothing but!
As of Saturday, I was literally this much (aka one row away) from finishing the Oyster Bay Shawl, my present to myself upon being told by the orthopedist that it was OK for me to resume knitting.
That was just about a month ago - I'm now thrilled that my knitting speed, while somewhat hampered, has returned to somewhat normal ...
What I AM noticing, though, is that any attempt to knit something other than lace has been met with great resistance from the almighty left wrist - yeah, I know - this too shall pass... but NOT SOON ENOUGH pour moi - I really really really want to make this in the colorway TRANCE, of which now I own two skeins, and, if I'm lucky enough, I can try like heck to start it tonight - it might just work, since, like lace knitting, but unlike "real sweater" knitting, my wrist (and attached adjacent hand) won't object!
update: Oyster Bay, c'est fini
(except for the blocking, of course, because I still haven't found that willing soul who will block it and the other three shawls hanging around waiting).
Oh well.
why is it that one kitty or the other always wants to claim a shawl for their own?
