Pain in the Wrist

2012-02-27T11:48:00.000-08:00

I don't know if it's all day at the computer, all night at the needles and PS3 controller or a combination of all three, but I am having pain in my wrist. The first day was horrible, even the skin was sensitive to touch! I didn't knit all weekend until Sunday night and I only did a few minutes. I will try again tonight as I only have 9.5 rows left of my Cotton Bam Boo Kudzu.

Since I do not have an up-to-date picture of my shawl, I will show off my leaping frog washcloth I made for baby Hayleigh earlier this month.

To Finish Or Not To Finish

I have been working on a shawl called Landscaping with some fingering weight yarn in lovely purple, green and white colors. I am not loving the pattern for this yarn, but I am half way through the shawl. I keep thinking the yarn is cheap enough, I should just finish and get it again if I find a pattern perfect for it.

I have the CBBK sitting and waiting for me to pick it back up. I just need the motivation. I know it will be nicer than the Landscaping shawl, but I can't knit it on the bus because it is more advanced and needs my full attention.

Sigh...what to do? I suppose I will work on the CBBK at home when I can and work on Landscaping to and from work and perhaps I will get them both done before the end of February.

Here are the flowers my baby sent me!

We also went out to eat at a nearby sushi place. It was so so good and there was a dinner buffet, so we stuffed ourselves for not a lot of money. We also split 4 bottles of sake, which was enough for me. Luke is the love of my life and he made last night wonderful.

Yummy!

I found a great place in the middle of Boston for sushi!

Busy times!

I have got so much knitting done this month since joining the Harry Potter group on Ravelry. I have knit Chloe's hurricain hat, finished a shawl, started another shawl, made two squares for my New Angle blanket, and I'm trying to get another shawl finished for "detention." Whew! My hands are super busy. Just wish I didn't have to work inbetween knitting time.
I have been working on Cotton Bam Boo Kudzu shawl to and from work. I must say, knitting on the bus is much more difficult than knitting on the train. So many stops and traffic makes for a bumby ride. I also feel like I have no privacy on the bus.
I did meet a fellow Raveler though! She saw me knitting the last shawl (I Heart Lace) and I promptly asked if she was on the site and if she would join our group, and she did! So awesome to meet other knitters. I know I'm not alone, no matter how many weird looks I get on my commute.

I finished my I Heart Lace shawl last night but more importantly, I blocked it! My first time blocking my lace work and I love how it came out. I will be submitting this shawl to the Harry Potter group on Ravelry for the Yule Cat challenge.

Knitting, Knitting, Knitting

All I want to do lately is knit! Besides running my quickly growing Ravelry group, I joined another that is Harry Potter themed and is all about boosting productivity. My group has about 4 people a day joining and I couldn't be happier! ( My Ravelry Group )
My goal for tonight is to cast off and block my I Heart Lace, upload pics and work more on my group.
