Ideas and projects are piling up, while I sit glumly with tendonitis. I have six designs ready to be knit! Writing Gloves in Glacier colored yarn from Quince & Co. (that's the bottom center,) a cowl called Arrowbite in the Parsley & Sabine (on top,) the lipstick colored scarf I mentioned in my last post, a Melrakki shawl (Old Norse for arctic fox,) a crazy scarf for a Zauberball.
Not to mention the underlying novel. Which is getting so close to being drafted, well drafted, readable, givable to people.
Even writing hurts my hands. I should not be posting this. I should not be knitting these things.
But this is what I do. I make up fictional Old Norse bedtime stories about Saga-esque men with names like Hundr Blacktooth and I pile yarn on top.
Really, I do.
Ouch! I hope you feel better soon. While ibuprofen makes things feel better, it just masks the pain, so make sure you're really better before you dive back in to the knitting! (ask me how I know. ouch.)

Next time we're in the cockpit together gimme a crack at those hands, & we'll see if a couple minutes' Old Norse massage does any good.

I'd take Dale up on his offer. Really. Do it.
In the mean time your stories sound intriguing.
Here is to healthy hands!

I feel for you- I am doing physio for osteoarthritis in my thumb joint, and the cold is not helping either. Who knew parts wore out on 49-year-old women? I've only been knitting 44 years, after all;)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the owies.
Your color choices are delicious.
Wish you well, as Mr. Rogers always said!
