SCHOOL'S OUT!


School is out and I pretty much have the summer to knit. The only problem is my "trigger" thumb. Something with the tendons swelling in the thumb which causes the joint to catch and a lot of pain. Anti-inflamitory meds have worked to a point but not enough. Nothing rids me of the pain. The next step is surgery. YIKES!


I have been working on a new blanket for my bed, a top and socks. I went crazy on E-Bay and bought 7 hanks of sock yarn over 2 months. I also bought a swift and ball winder. In all, I've probably spent a couple of hundred dollars on knitting related stuff over the past two months. I don't even invest that much in oil changes for my car in a year's time!
