Fortunately, garter is a kind stitch and yields satisfyingly visible results.
Alright then, back at it!

Still Hitching
Been a bit busy with work, errands, and sleep, but fortunately garter stitch makes for satisfying and visible progress.

I made an error on Véronik's project so while I was awaiting approval for a potential work-around, (no simple fixes on such detail-oriented shaping!), I was able to start on a perfect 2nd project.
Good thing since it was my take with project for the day.
I am going to have a hysterectomy. The ablation was a limited success, but since November I have been in nearly constant pain ranging from low-grade nagging to nauseatingly fierce. Fibroids have returned, and I just can't continue; not with the pain or the amount of drugs that are needed to kind of control it. Hopefully I'll get a date in the next couple of days; not likely until into August. Not ideal, but it could be worse.
Chica's basking in the last of the morning sunshine rays that light up my living room.
And I've declared today Hobbit Day,
so I'd best get back to my knitting and adventure!!

Simplicity
So I am back to knitting on socks - my thumb is sufficiently de-sensitized and mostly just numbish (still swollen & unsightly) to return to regularly scheduled knitting.
I finished the first sock and am onto the second one. The 2nd sock always goes faster for me ...
While I couldn't knit on such fine needles (and when I say fine I mean 2.75mm tiny & Damn Fine Signatures!!) and even now to give my thumb a rest, I have been knitting on scarves.
I really do love the simple beauty and ease of garter stitch and I love the way Iris Schreier's mitered scarf turns stripes on their sides! I'm going to be saving them up to donate to the DKC Relay for Life team. I've gotten some masculine colours ... can't wait to bang more out!!
Sometimes though, a miter can take a wrong turn. I can't believe that I finished the whole triangle before I realized what I had done!!
LOL Back on track though with a healing laugh for good measure.
