The Good, the Bad, and the Knitting

Last Friday I had oral surgery. So as not to gross anyone out, I will leave it at that.

• The Bad was of course the surgery AND I couldn’t eat real food, just liquids.
• The Good was that milk shakes, which have been banned from my menu for years, were now at the top of the list of things to eat.
• The Bad is liquid foods don’t have staying power, and I was hungry an hour later but didn't want to eat.
• The Good was I didn’t and couldn’t do anything but sleep, watch movies, and KNIT all weekend. And during the week I couldn’t go to the gym so MORE knitting time. (happy dance ... slowly)

This meant that I made great progress on two of my projects. Here is where I am now (the second picture is a FINISHED back - woo hoo). Click on the links under Projects I'm Working On, to see where these projects were just a week ago. (My First Fairisle and Lace Jacket from Rams Wool)

So all in all, it was Good, I’m recovering and my gums should be better, I ate ice cream and pudding, I watched movies and knitted with my dog totally guilt free and made wonderful progress on my projects!!!


Just think, if I didn't knit I would have viewed last weekend as having surgery and being stuck inside watching movies.
