I'm on Ravelry!

Woohoo! I got my invite tonight and I've signed in. I haven't done much yet other than some basic profile stuff, and I probably won't get much of anything else done until this weekend, but I'm on Ravelry! Woohoo!

Oh, of course, I'm Seitherin there so that's how you can find me.

I got books!

This is as close to crafting as I've gotten since the arthritis caused by the finger ailment put me on Remicade treatments in December. Did I ever mention the ordeal of the finger caused an outbreak of psoriasis which lead to an extremely debilitating case of psoriatic arthritis for which I've been undergoing treatment since December? If I didn't before, I have now. The finger still doesn't work worth a darn, but at least I can mostly use it to do mostly normal things like holding cups and cutting my own meat. Anyway, I've finally perked up enough to be interested in knitting again and I ordered two books which arrived yesterday. I really like both of them. I'm toying with the idea of scarves in people's futures.

Still no knitting

Or anything else either. But I have hope that will change come January.

Knitting on hold

As if you couldn't tell since I haven't posted anything in practically forever. The finger is not improving (in my opinion) but the doctor seems pleased with the pace of the therapy. Anyway, my hands get very tired very quickly so I haven't done much of anything and the finger has taken to swelling again. I've gone to see another doctor, but I'm not prepared to say anything about that yet since I don't know anything definitive and may not even know anything after I see her again the end of next week.

Oh, well. At least I'm catching up on my reading.

Been a while

Finger is status quo. I can knit, but I'm not in the mood at the moment. I'm reading two books and I can't seem to maintain interest in either. However, I did stumble across a link that falls into the "now I've seen everything!" category and I just had to share it . . .

There was knitting

Woohoo! I stopped at the Pasadena SnB on my way home tonight to introduce myself and I pulled out the knitting I haven't touched since March or April and I actually knit two repeats of the pattern. Although the finger still isn't worth a darn, it works well enough to knit.

I am such a happy camper, you can't even possibly begin to imagine.
