Good morning! How are you?

I am blissfully knitting the second sock this week and loving the project. I snapped this photo yesterday and I am now at the heel flap. 

My knitting has slowed down some (again) because I fell on Sunday in the kitchen doing something un-smart and my left arm and wrist has been aching since. Yesterday after dinner I decided to go to urgent care to make sure everything was okay because I had wrist pain. Luckily for me, my wrist was fine but my elbow has a little fracture in it. Luckily for me, I am in a sling and not a cast and I am allowed to knit. I'm supposed to have a follow up with an ortho doctor in two weeks, scheduling can be a challenge though.

What are you working on this week?

    Oh Karen! Yikes! I hope your wrist is feeling better soon... (and that your elbow is as well!) I love that picture of sweet Frodo next to you... thank you so much for sharing!

    Oh, no! Keep knitting, drink your milk, and make your ortho appt. We have an orthopedic group here that has 14 doctors and it's still tough getting an appt. Good luck!

    Gosh, Karen. I hope you can get in to an Ortho soon and heal fast! Your second day sock is moving along nicely. I am always sad once the heel.is done. That is my favorite part of the sock.

    Oh no!! So sorry to hear about your fall, but so glad you did go to urgent care. Hope your elbow heals quickly and hope your wrist feels better. Happily you can still knit (but take it easy). Pretty sock and such a cute picture of Frodo. Heal quickly!!

    OH MYGoodness! I am glad you aren't hurt worse and that you can still knit. I'm still working on my dish towel. Almost done and looking forward to starting a new hat. I have yarn waiting on me to put it to use! LOL! Frodo looks really comfortable... :)

    Ouch! Prayers for your healthy recovery. The 14 year old son of a woman at church fractured his elbow. I just talked to his mom yesterday and he's out of all fall sports and bummed. No surgery, but he did need a cast.

    Oh no, I am sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope your wrist and elbow heel well and soon. You have a good companion there. Take it easy with the knitting. The sock is sure pretty.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
