Therapeutic Knitting

By -
Sheri and Cheryl visited me after my surgery, and like true knitting buddies, they presented me with some luscious novelty yarn.

I am making a shawl using a pattern that Cheryl shared with the knitting group a few weeks earlier. The shawl is growing, and once my hands become accustomed to the size 17 needles, it will progress faster. After knitting almost exclusively with a size 2 needles, the 17s feel like clubs.

Thank you, Sheri and Cheryl for providing the perfect therapy: friendship and fiber. You are the greatest!

    Glad you are on the road to recovery! I pray for quick healing and a full recovery for you. That is some really neat yarn, and I can't wait to see what your finished shawl looks like.

    Size 17 needles are clubs, but they sure making the knitting go fast.

    Purple has always been my favorite color - but this blend is simple gorgeous. It looks extremely soft.
