Most specifically, Sam’s scarf knitting that’s hurting my arm. I finished it up, (there were only a few inches left and he was anxious) and I hurt a lot more while I was knitting it.
It was a lot of cabling with a yarn that wasn’t very soft and didn’t have a lot of give. I’m hoping that it was the specific knitting of his scarf that did me in. I tried knitting on the big shawl a little yesterday, and it wasn’t comfortable. I guess I need to stop for awhile and keep up the ibuprofen. Guitar seems to be ok, weights are absolutely out.
So the fact that Carol’s latest sock club package arrived a few days ago is just…. not cool.
I mean it’s cool, but it’s not cool. Because I can’t do anything with it in the foreseeable future and it taunts me. Look at that color! Is sooooo pretty.
I ordered over 200 pictures online Friday to scrapbook this year so far, beginning with New Year’s Eve. I’m really excited about it. They should arrive in the next couple of days. I also did an online book through iPhoto about our trip to the cabin. It’s very cool. I don’t know how to balance the two- digital and/or traditional photo albums, but I’m going to mess around with both of them.

That scarf is awesome. Did you use a specific pattern? I would love to knit that one:) And, the sock yarn is beautiful. I hope you are able to use it soon…..

It isn’t a specific pattern. It’s loosely based on the Teva Durham’s scarf in Scarf Style, without the intarsia. I added more repeats. I used Donegal Tweed, which I wouldn’t recommend. It’s too scratchy. My brother requested the stripes.

Hmmm, I don’t remember your brother having a ‘stache… is that new? The scarf looks great! 🙂 I’m so sorry you can’t knit due to the elbow problem… that totally sucks. I agree that blue is so lovely, I’m trying to finish up the red very quickly so I can move onto that pair!

Sorry to hear about your elbow. I know how much that must suck. The scarf looks great. Good luck with the scrapbooking. I need to get my pics organized as well. I’m not much of a scrapbooker but I need to get them off my computer and into an album.

The scarf turned out great. I would say that if you were knitting a lot on that scarf you will feel it for the next few days in your arms. The sock yarn looks beautiful, poor you not being able to knit it up yet.
