Knitting woes
It happened again: my hands and arms got worse and I had to stop knitting. After several weeks of physical therapy it’s clear that I won’t be able to resume knitting any time soon, and when I do it will have to be for very short intervals. I’ve
been bummed, of course, and that’s part of why you haven’t seen any posts in two months. To make up for the loss of knitting, I’ve been spending more time in the kitchen. Cooking and baking is not great for my hands but at least the movements involved are less repetitive than in knitting and it’s easier to be careful. These past two months I’ve been trying lots of new recipes and our dinners have been more experimentatal. Some things have come out well, others have been complete disasters. No pictures of food because our kitchen is very dark and, between that and artificial light, my food photos are nothing to brag about. But I leave you with tonight’s main feature: Kelvin jumping on Ben’s shoulders at the end of dinner. This may turn out to be a good-bye post,
and I know some of you are still fans of Kelvin. :)

I have been on reading blogs lately, so I just read your post.
This can’t be! I’m so sorry to hear this, and I’m sure this is more frustrating than you are able to convey in your post. I’m praying for miraculous healing for you!
Lorette
I sincerely hope it’s not a goodbye to either you OR Kelvin! I’d be bummed big time if I couldn’t knit, I hope your hands get better soon…
Annie
Hey you. Not another good bye, please … a monthly blog about Kelvin and cooking in the dark is fine, just don’t disappear altogether.
Tomorrow I shall email you further pleas for your continued presence in Blogtopia x

In a fit of denial I have firmly convinced myself that if anything happened to my hands I would learn to knit with my feet so I can’t imagine how awful it must be. I wondered where you had gone to. I’m glad you’re still with us, but sad you are ailing. We would follow you in the kitchen -dark or not. Love love love the kelvin pics.

A good-bye post from Kelvin, or a good-bye post from you? I hope not the latter (unless there’s another blog I should be following you on. Will have to investigate). I hope those nerves enjoy their rest and heal nicely. Hang in there!
Warning: The kitchen contains more calories than the yarn basket does. Plan accordingly.

Oh, how very vexing for you, Francesca. I do hope things will improve soon.

Hugs… I so sorry to hear about your hands.:(
I’ve been meaning to drop you a line to see
how the renovations ended up? I for one really
Hope this isn’t the last post. You would be
greatly missed and the boys.
Please take care of yourself! We miss you

I haven’t been able to knit because of hand pain, too. It really does suck. I feel your pain. (Literally!)
