off and racing!

Was given permission to knit again on Tuesday evening.

Finished the entrelac blanket [I actually had 1980 stitches to go, not 990!]. Have sewn in all the ends - most done while I wasn't knitting, so it's completely finished.

Have knitted another two adult beanies, one in 8ply [DK] and the other in a thicker yarn.

Last night I started a poncho for DD. Frogged after ten rows because I thought it was too stiff. Started again, going up three needle sizes. Decided to knit on circulars in one piece [that is, no side seams]. After several hours of knitting - last night and today - found I was making a Mobius poncho! Don't know when it twisted; it was fine when I checked it first thing this morning!!

We interrupt the knitting to...

Yes, that's right! Interrupt the knitting! So, what's the big deal? After four weeks of "no knitting, no crochet, limited computer use" my specialist said:
"Yes, you can knit. Knitting won't make your shoulder any worse than it is!"

Yay for the specialist, yay for the knitting! Not yay for the still frozen shoulder!

See you, I'm off to knit! I have only 990 stitches to complete the entrelac rug I started in March! See you soon with my FO!

Birthday gifts

It's almost a week since my birthday but the excitement of my DD's engagement had to take priority.

I received a gift card, a lace blocking kit and a book:



And we're going to Cirque de Soleil!
