More Progress

 I did something that I have never done before.  I typed up most of a new pattern before I have finished knitting the sample. I have to admit that has a lot to do with my recent hand surgeries and the slow healing process.  There are still a few tweaks to do. The sample to finish.  A bit more editing.  It will definitely take me longer to finish the knitting.  Then it’s picture time.  I am thinking some time in April with any luck.  Then there are 3 more patterns in the pipeline.  Just maybe I am getting my mojo back. 

I also have hit my walking goal 10 days in a row of a minimum of 5,500 steps.  I think my current decluttering efforts have a lot to do with the high numbers. I also tend to get a lot of steps cleaning house.  Also it is easier to walk with hand pain than knee pain.  

A Good Day

 I sold one of my spinning wheels today.  I was not expecting to break even so I sold it on lower priced side. Surprisingly I had more issues with the people not interested in the wheel. Once I had it listed it sold in about 30 minutes.  I packed it tonight. Another great thing about selling a spinning wheel is that I can pack it in fiber. This means that fiber leaves the house and the person getting the wheel has fiber to start spinning right away. Aren’t spinners great people?

My hand is starting to drive me crazy. The stitches are itchy and they don’t come out until Friday afternoon.  There is still some swelling too. I will ice again before bed.  The knitting withdrawals are horrible.  The spinning helps a little, but I can’t spin for a long time.  So I am left to play video games like a teenager.  It’s almost Friday is my current mantra.
