Recalled to Life

I’m all proud of my literary title to this post but if it is really curtesy of “A Tale of Two Cities” and the [CraftLit Podcast] 

Things are going much better today.  My husband found that he may NOT need to have surgery on his knee.  The quadricep tendon is torn but not nearly as badly as we feared.  It is possible that it may be able to heal on it’s own.  So we are in “wait and see” mode now.  He will se the Dr next week to discuss options and make some tenative plans for physical therapy and anything else that may need to happen.  He also has some damage to his knee from an old injury that may need surgery but it involves a few days recovery rather than several months. 

I also had a terrific professional non-knitting oportunity come up so it was a pretty good day all-in-all.

 I’ve had a bit of time to knit but no time to take pictures.  So I will have to post some pictures I took a few days ago.

Here is my sock in progress with one sock complete and not much complete on sock 2.  I am just about to start the garter rib pattern on that sock now.  It’s not been my project of choice this week. 

Here is my blue suede bikini bottom.  The knitting is done, I’m working on the crocheted borders.  It’s not intended for public viewing but it’s fun to make anyway.  This is the type of thing I knit to encourage my husband to allow me to buy more yarn.  It’s a pretty good tactic.  heh.

 My newest project is the Touch of Whimsy Scarf.  I’m using a gorgeous rust colored Malabrigo that I got at Christmas time.  It is wonderful to work with and I’ve got about 18 inches done.  Pictures will come eventually.
