Im back! (Kinda)

Im back! (Kinda)

Ok so the carpal tunnel surgery. Its going to take another three months to heal. They think. So im not going to even attempt purl stitch until the new year!

My mental health has not been great due to the lack of looming so i started up again very gently. Only using ewrap, and a 12 peg loom. Iv been making little hats for the big knit uk. The photo shows the first batch of little hats i have made over the last couple of weeks. I have to limit how much i can actually do each day or it just messes up my wrist the next day.

Anyway im just glad to be back doing something productive again.

Finished but never posted here

So my friend who had a baby shower. Baby has since been born and is cute as a button!

This is the baby blanket i made! Pattern is loosely based on the stripey blanket by tuteate. I just changed the number of stitches for each section to get it to look like that.

Really missing looming. Hand is hurting more each day and im pretty sure its not supposed to do that

It is done

So i had my carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. It hurts more today as the local anaesthetic has completely worn off.

One day and i already miss not being able to loom knit!!!! Roll on six weeks!!!!

Surgery imminent

So iv been suffering with carpal tunnel for a while now. Got really bad around Christmas when i was doing a lot (and i mean a LOT) of purl stitches.

Anyway i have surgery on Thursday, so i wont be able to loom for a while. Im just in the process of finishing up a couple of projects then i get its loads of rest for me.

Wish me luck! I feel i will need it. And if you are doing a project with lots of purl stitches? Remember to take frequent breaks so you dont end up in the same situation as me 😅

Multiple projects

Does anyone else have multiple projects on the go at the same time???

I currently have a spiral hat, a baby blanket, a ten stitch blanket, wedding favours, tiny kittens, handwarmers. Thats just the ones i can remember and i have loads of ends to sew in on finished projects. I also have a list as long as my arm of projects i want to make.

WIP Wednesday, what im making

So the first photo is the second on two spiral santa hats im making!

The other photos are of the first one. I still need to add the pom pom, and also sew the top closed.

Im also planning on making one a friend’s little boy (when hes actually been born. He still cooking right now).

I also have about another five projects on the go so when the hats are done i really really need to crack on and get those done!!!!

Thought he was tired. Saw me taking photos and zoomed over. This was after i had put his frisbee away. He drained a full bottle of water on this walk and its not even that warm today!

Hes a good boy. Will rest for most of the day now until evening walk. He will at some point want to play with at least one of his balls scattered around the house (never wants a ball on his walks though!)
