Work In Progress

I know, I know, it's selfish to knit something for myself when there are so many other people that I am knitting for at the same time, but every once in a while I need to do some me knitting and this is it.
It has all the elements I love about a sweater made for me......
1. Top down
2. Short sleeves
3. Fetching cable pattern down the front and back.
4. Calls for worsted weight

Pattern Name: Jetty
Designer: Cecily Glowik MacDonald
Website: Winged Knits you can also find this and more of her patterns on Ravelry!
(I can't link because not only am I typing this on my phone I am doing it with my thumb....and I wonder where my wrist problems are coming from lol)
Size Range: 30&3/4 inches to 52
Knitting know how: cabling, increases, decreases, and remembering which stitch marker you designated for the beginning of the round. I have eight total stitch markers on here now and for this project I chose the 'fatty tuna' sushi stitch marker as my beginner. Since I used my fancy App for my iPhone camera the color is not accurate. The correct color is more of a deep orange burnt sienna......perfect to wear when tripping thru the pumpkin patch this fall!!!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
