Injured, But Still Knitting

I have an annoying wrist injury. Right wrist, inner side, around that little bump of bone.  Sometimes it zings me, but mostly it just annoys.

While I wait to get an appointment with a wrist specialist, I've been paying close attention to see what  makes it hurt more or less.  There's very little consistent pattern except that knitting seems to make it feel better.  Go figure!

So, on I knit.

ON MY NEEDLES
Way too many projects, actually.  But here are the highlights:

 Rising Fog by Bonnie Sennott is a rectangular shawl/wrap in lace knitting (I think that's the right term - every other row is purled).  I'm including some lovely irridescent beads and enjoying the pattern.  I started it while hanging out at the hospital two weeks ago when my father had bypass surgery and even knitting all day didn't make my wrist worse.

The Braids Cardigan is a project I started a few years ago (I know, I can't believe I haven't finished it yet).  The yarn is Webs Colrain in Grape Jelly, which is a lovely yarn to work with.  I pulled it out recently and got the front bands knitted on, including one-row buttonholes.  Now I need to find the right needles and get the sleeves done - knitted down from the top so I'll be able to put it on and wear it as soon as they are completed.

And, with 39 more days of writing, more projects to come!
