When I want to knit, but can't

By -

 



My Tea Time wrap is near the finish.  I am happy with it.  My  hands and arms are sore and I'm not sure why.  I can on1y knit a bit on it.   I'm not shakey anymore, but I think those musc1es are tired.  

I gasp, if I think, I cant knit.  So I go in short bursts.  No marathon knitting, which I adore!  

I want you to know I am reading your b1ogs and enjoying them.  I just cannot a1ways respond because of the 1 situation  . If my emai1 is required I can't 1eave a post.  But, Soon I wi11 remedy it a11.  And you can catch me on instagram too. I do enjoying seeing Dee,  and Steph and many others of you there.  

Fingers crossed I'11 knit easy today!  Oh and the SUN is shining!

Pretty colour in that wrap. We are getting more snow today--UGH!--and no sunshine at all. I am so sick of this winter.

I'm not able to knit very long, either, these days. Too much stress on my shoulders and neck, and my hands are protesting the cotton yarn I'm using. But I get several rows in almost every day.

Are you getting a new computer? Trying another keyboard?

Glad you got some sunshine! Sorry to hear you can only knit a little bit before getting sore. Hope that issue quits soon.

That's a lot of knitting! Whenever I have to do long stretches of knitting my whole left side hurts starting under my arm. The Olympics are killing me because all I want to do when I see all that snow is knit.
Yay for sunshine. We had it yesterday and it was glorious. I cleaned all day-even the windows and doors. Today we've got snow but nothing is sticking. It's still nice to see coming down while I catch up on the games this morning.

Changing needle and yarn sizes on different projects helps keep my hands from hurting.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
