In what is becoming a (bad) (not good) holiday tradition, I have knitted too much and started giving myself some kind of RSI strain in my left wrist. I’ve caught it early and am taking it very easy, but it also means I cut myself off from easy fidget projects. So! it’s time to resume hand-quilting this lap quilt.
We’re having construction done on the house so I have a lot of extra furniture in my room… I managed to rearrange things so that I can have the quilt frame and the ironing board the quilt is draped over next to my desk for ease of tv-watching and music-listening. I did block the dresser full of yarn to accomplish this, but since yarn projects are largely off-limits at the current time I have made my peace with that 😅.
Take care of those hands! I hope they calm down quickly.
Those blues are absolutely stunning!
Thank you! I think I probably caught it early enough that as long as I baby it along I won’t have to stop knitting completely… there’s a hat I really want to finish for Christmas even if everything else gets pushed back to other holidays!
The specific blues in this quilt are extremely funny to me — they’re gorgeous in most lights but my phone camera can’t quite manage the nuance in full sun so they range anywhere from purple (warm incandescents) to overexposed aqua (full sun) in photos.
