Hello

I seemed to have worked out the kink in my shoulder that would cause it to knot up while knitting. At least Monday night while I knit with my friend I didn't feel my shoulder knotting up. I took the above hat band with me. I know I worked on the purple to the yellow at the least, maybe some of the blue. It's always nice to be able to sit around and talk with a friend who understands crafty stuff. She liked watching the colors change (except for the weird brown between the purple and yellow, until it turned to gold, then it was alright again). I can't say I'm overly impressed with the yarn (they're both the same yarn), it's a single ply and I don't think it's all that tightly spun. Which means that I have to watch myself or it's really easy to split the yarn. Otherwise, I do like how it's turning out, though.

Bright Blessings!

Well

I need to take care of myself. Despite really wanting that top done in time to wear it for my birthday, I think I really need to take a week or so off of knitting. I've noticed a knot on my right shoulder blade (there's one on the left too, but I notice the right one more) and I think it's related to my knitting somehow. So, yeah, I'm going to take at least a week off of knitting and see how I feel. My dad has lots of massage devices laying around and has given me permission to use them as liberally as I need to. So, I'll probably be trying to loosen up my shoulders a bit each night.

Bright Blessings!

Newish Things

If you've been with me for a while, or just flipped back through the archives you may notice that I used to have little bags that I carried around my sock projects in. I would clip them onto my belt loop and run around with knitting on my hip, or hook it onto my purse and be happy with it there. I have since ripped out the little bit that the bags hung by (mostly by shutting the drawstring in my car door and walking off). I've been missing those bags and can't seem to find them or a good replacement for them. I had taken a seam ripper to one and showed it to Mom, we just haven't done anything about making more.

So, I'm kinda trying to make one, or at least something similar. That was mostly done during Christmas Eve. Mom and I sat for a while and crocheted together.

Bright Blessings!
