By Karen B. Physical therapy is well underway, with a week’s worth of sessions under my belt. Over-achiever that I am, I can already raise my right arm at least 140 degrees – well past the 90 degrees I strained for just one week ago. The sad part is that I still can’t completely brush my own hair as [...] By Karen B. You go to a very good surgeon who knows how to use his own tools of the trade to reattach, reshape, shave and sew (as needed) to put the FO (me) to right. I had my first post-op appointment. Doc says things look good. In fact, from the size of the incisions, it looks as though I’d [...] By Karen B. Vine Scarf Begins It may not look like much but, to me, it means a lot. Here’s the timeline: May 10th – shoulder surgery The pattern is Nicole Hindes’ Strangling Vine Lace Scarf (Ravelry). The needles are [...] By Karen B. Pink Tulips Thanks so much for your good wishes. The surgery went well but the patient had an little incident that caused her to be admitted to the ICU overnight. Alright. I’ll drop the third person to tell you that I went into a-fib near the end of what should have been a routine surgery (you know [...] By Karen B. Sorry about being so cryptic about the DIY project in my last post. I wanted to make a few tweaks and figure out how to describe it first. I’m having arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder to (hopefully) fix some long-standing issues. It’s scheduled for Monday morning so, depending on where you are, the surgery may [...] By Karen B. I’ve been trying to wrap up a few things in anticipation of a fast-approaching knit and crochet hiatus. At the same time, I’ve also been spending some fun time with friends over the past couple of weeks. Walking, sampling some very fine craft beers, shopping and making new friends along the way. First, there was Dark Lord [...] By Karen B. Baby blanket squares The everyday stuff I took my car in today for an oil change and tire rotation. I was surprised to see the place so empty. Then again, it was the middle of the week around the time that most 9-to-5′ers would have been at their posts. Since I was the only one in the waiting [...] By Karen B. My mother is not the crafty sort. I mean, she’s creative in a quirky sort of way but knitting and crocheting are not her thing. Case in point: I’m making PlanetJune’s crochet eggs for Easter. I took one down from the armoire where they’re being stored out of cat’s reach to show to her. She exclaimed, [...] By Karen B. Oh, the forgotten yarn. Hiding away in the dark in its original mailing envelope at the bottom of a shopping bag in an antique armoire not normally used to store yarn. Forgotten because I’d inadvertently purchased the wrong weight to complete a baby ensemble last year. Fast forward one year when Opal at Akamai Knitter mentioned the [...] By Karen B. Pretty Raspberry Citron Eleven days from start to finish. Not a bad pace for me given that there were 440+ stitches at the end. You’ll see from the finished product that I did not add a ruffle. Why not? Observe that little twist of yarn. When you’ve only got a few yards to play with, [...] |
