the blue blog archives: boo boo

A little delay in posting today. We were totally down for a day here while they finally got our internet service up and running. And now that we're back online, I don't have any real knitting progress to report, because I had a wee accident with the fabric shears while working on my latest sewing project.

Little boo boo, big bandage, and just like that I was a thumb down and falling behind on my knitting. So while others (LoobyLou, Kerrie) are already finished, my Pagan waits enviously.

Ouch! And how vexing, as you really do need that thumb to knit with.

Oh no! I hope it really is just a little boo boo and that you heal quickly.

I've occasionally wondered what I would do if I had an injury that prevented me from knitting easily (like a broken arm) and how far I would go to overcome it and how much pain I would put up with.

I guess you can be happy that your other hobby doesn't involve power tools. ;)

due to the proliferation of melissas in the knitting world, i think i'll add my last initial to make things a little easier! :)

just wanted to say i'm a daily reader of your site and am sorry to see that you're out of commission at the moment! keep that neosporin handy - it'll heal in no time. your pagan looks great so far though - i hope to join one of the knit alongs later in the summer (once i get a little faster at this knitting stuff. :)
