I'm allowed to dye!
Not much happening here. Apologies to all visitors who've found this site a little boring of late!
I've been diagnosed with frozen shoulder and my specialist has told me not to knit! I'm so fed up - I'm also not allowed to crochet, embroider, draw, write, paint or do anything else that causes pain to my left arm! This explains my silence on this blog - no knitting, no news!
However, I am allowed to dye - it puts little stress on the muscles. I will continue with my experiments in dyeing acrylic yarn which were put on hold over Christmas while my parents were visiting. Mum and dad left yesterday and I am able to return to dyeing. This knitting blog will become a dyeing journal - at least for a little while! I hope and pray that I soon will be able to knit the yarns I'm dyeing!

Still here, still knitting, still tired!
More than a month since my last post! Thanks to those bloggers who contacted me to see if I was okay. Where have I been? Well, the redecorating continues but living in a constant state of mess is really getting to me!
Work has also kept me very busy - the more volunteers, the more preparation I have to do to keep them all busy!
But, all is not lost - I have been knitting. Clapotis is finished and blocked. I may even be able to convince WM to stand still long enough to take photos then I can post them here and post the real thing to its recipient.
I have also made two 'scrap' cardigans; one is completely finished, the other is at the finishing stage. Again, hopefully photos this afternoon.
As for socks, the less said the better. Apparently they don't feel comfortable because they are too big! So the finished pair and the almost finished pair need to be ripped out and started again! :-(
Sad to say, the socks will have to wait - so much for SSoS. I'm giving up knitting for a month! My shoulder isn't getting any better and I want to see if knitting aggravates it [or not knitting helps!].
What's a girl to do?
