I was in the city today with my good friend Maddy and we wandered into Madison Square Park.  As we walked in, I saw a statue of a naked man.  I really didn’t think much of it, it’s art.  But then, Maddy pointed them out to me and here’s what I saw: There are 27 [...]

It was back to work this week and all I have to say is that I’m exhausted.  I’m so not use to it after a month off.  I’m also finding that some things never change.  Overall, it’s good to be back. I also hit the gym for the first time this week and I’m going [...]

Pattern: Haruni Yarn: Wollmeise Twin, Tutu Dark Needle: US 5

Recuperation is slow, but I’m on the mend.  Physical Therapy has started and it very much reminds me of workouts with my trainer.  Baby steps. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my time with my family and getting some knitting done.  One project went on hiatus yet again, but I’d rather get some other things done [...]

I’m packed and ready to go.  Heading to Mom and Dad’s for a few.  Looking forward to recuperating there in the comfort of air conditioning. For knitting, I am taking a lot of stuff that is in progress: The Alka Shawl, Haruni, Norwegian Rose, Barbara (to knit on the train) and I have one skein [...]

The original plan today was to knit on Haruni. Plans change; I needed to do brainless knitting so I chose to knit on the Barbara Fisherman’s Scarf. I really love how this is coming.  I finished the first tail and am about half through the ribbed neck.  I think this scarf could be done by [...]

I started these socks at the Stitch and Pitch game in early June.  Mom saw them and immediately claimed them.  I finished last night.  I know she will love them! Here’s a shot of Norwegian Rose.  While my knitting mojo is there, it’s been hindered by nap attacks and recuperation, so it’s been slow going. [...]

I took a few short walks today.  I was sort of surprised how tired that they made me.  I was really hoping that I’d be a lot further along in recovery, but I’m also very eager for it to happen.  I have to learn not to push myself and that it will happen in time.  [...]

It was off to see the Wizard today…….um, I mean the doctor. All is good.  I had my bandages removed.  The doctor is very pleased with how things look.  He was very happy that I could straighten my leg out.  Most importantly, I was OK’d to get it wet which meant a nice long hot [...]
