Baby Binkie
This will be the first time since my surgery that I have functional and pain-free wrists AND a pregnant friend for whom I can knit a baby blanket.
I got some super soft Bernat Bamboo yarn in Dill (light green) and Wicker (warm beige). The color balance on my olde digital camera doesn’t quite do it, but I did what I could in Photoshop to convey the true colors… shining through.
Apologies to Cyndi Lauper.
I’m going to rock out a moss stitch - which is still easy enough for me to do a larger piece like a blanket without my wrist getting too tired. Generally speaking, I’m well into functional territory and I think that’s a great thing for a wrist lacking three bones. Proximal row carpectomy -ha!
But when the weather is rainy (as it is tonight) I do feel some stiffness and swelling in my left wrist. It gets tired far more quickly than my left wrist. And it’s still way weaker than my right wrist… but I think that the rock-climbing has helped it quite a bit in that arena.
Knitting is therapeutic in several ways, when all is said and done.
