It's been a long time since I last posted. I am now mainly using Instagram to record my progress.
So what has happened this year. We have had terrible weather events. In January we were hit by a huge storm which caused flooding and loss of life. Just a few days later we were hit by Cyclone Gabrielle. This was the scariest Cyclone I've ever experienced. Then a month or so later we got slammed by an atmospheric river. I'd never even heard of such a phenomenon.
Personally it hasn't been so great. My optometrist picked up a potential macular hole. I see a specialist at the end of July to confirm it and find out if and when I'll need surgery.
At the end of May, I slipped and fell while walking my dog and broke my wrist in 2 places. I'm now into week 5 of wearing a cast, so next week get the cast removed and start physio. I am really hoping I'll be able to knit again by August, but I will probably have to only knit for short periods to start with.
I broke my wrist 3 days before Woolfest so missed that. Ribbon Rose moved into a massive new building and added art and dressmaking departments on Kings Birthday weekend. So I still haven't been there. And Stephen West is doing his first Mystery Sockalong on 6 July. My cast comes off in the 4th but I won't be able to hold small sock needles by then. I would love to take part as a sock is so much more doable than a shawl and his Mystery knitalongs are so much fun.
So what have I made. Just a quick summary of what is off my needles.
