The Knitter's Last Stand

A reading we will go!!

As the title suggests I've been doing a bit of reading of late.

My left hand is quite sore (the doctor thinks it may be carpel tunnel syndrome so we'll wait and see what the specialist says) so I haven't done much knitting lately. Have you ever tried to knit with a splint on your wrist? It's quite difficult but it can be done. I know, as that's how I'm attempting to knit at the moment.

I have read 5 books so far this year but the last 2 have been really great reads.
They were :- Eleven on top by Janet Evanovich and
No place like home by Mary Higgins Clark.

I have read most of the books by these 2 authors so it was great that the library had the 1st one in stock and the other was leant to me by a friend.

I also have another 4 books here to read by Janet Evanovich that are romances but with a fair bit of comedy in them. What book by Janet Evanovich don't you have a giggle to while reading it?

I have started the 1st of the 4 romance books (Back to the bedroom) and am having a cackle to myself every couple of pages.

As well as reading I have done a bit of knitting. I've finished my Lorna's Laces socks and am onto the second sock of a pair using Opal Chameleon. Both these pairs of socks are using a lacy pattern from the last edition of Creative Knitting. I am also doing a little baby knitting as well.

I still haven't taken photos of a lot of my FO's so will have to get onto it so that I can post them on my blog. Some of my FO's have already been sold or put into the shop that Katt and I knit for and I was verrrrrrrrrrrry remiss and forgot to take pickies first.

Oh well it's time to go to bed and do a spot more reading.

Until next time keep on knitting.

Cathy

  • I have been wondering what you have been up to, I love reading but it eats into my knitting time so I usually only read in bed. Mary Higgins Clark writes a great mystery, I have read most of hers, have you read any of her daughters? I stumbled across a couple at the library once, I don't think she has written many, anyway they are similar to her mothers, her name is Carol Higgins Clark.

    Carpel Tunnell (ouch) I used to get it when I was pregnant, which explains why my kids didn't get a lot of handknits as newborns, I couldn't knit at all :(

  • Hey Cathy,
    So sorry to hear about your sore wrist. Mine was playing up and I was just about to try Continental knitting, but it is a lot better now. I think I have some arthritis and am taking glucasamine which seems to help.
    I share your taste in authors, and have been reading a bit myself as it is too hot to do anything else. I am rereading some Georgette Heyers for 45th time. I do so love her books

  • Oh, I hope your wrist is feeling better soon - typical, isn't it, that your wrist for knitting would be the place to hurt. Happy reading though - get light books so they don't irritate your wrist!!!! Is Evanovitch the One for the, Two for etc numbers author?? With Ranger and Morelli???
    I think!!!!
