a little foot, a little knitting
Still working on this healing thing. I can't believe how hard it is to walk still. I've also decided that if you have foot surgery, the doctor should really give you one of those temporary handicap parking things. I ran some errands yesterday and it was Not Fun. Which I think is why I am mostly sitting all day today because it hurts worse than it has been.
I really need to do that post with pictures of recently finished knitting projects. Maybe I will make it a goal to do that tonight. I've been working on my hoodie again. I'm a little discouraged because the tightness of my knitting seems to have changed since I was working on it last. I'm knitting looser somehow. I decided it wasn't off by enough to rip back and redo though. I just did a couple less rows in this last sleeve than i did in the other and it should work out fine. This is a good reason to finish projects faster than I have been though. All I have left is seaming it all up and adding the hood! I've also been working on a pretty metallic bronze/orangey scarf. I have yarn for a couple other projects too but don't have the right size needles yet so I need to go get those tonight. Whee.

I had foot surgery about 10 years ago, and I totally agree with you about the handicap parking pass. I wasn't really supposed to drive (my surgery was on both of my feet, so that would have been problematic), but one day I went down to the DMV and waited in line for half an hour (FWIW, this was in NC), to have them tell me it would cost $5, and I had to have a note from my doctor. It was definitely frustrating.

i had foot surgery about 10 years ago, too. talk about a clumsy lame injury, i was walking to the mailbox at my first house and i was barefoot and i just stepped off the curb funny and destroyed the ball of my left foot joint. after surgery i had to wear one of those horrid ski boot casts for like 6 weeks, and then learn to walk properly again. gawd, it was so embarrassing, and everytime i walked anywhere my foot would swell up like a water-logged corpse (sorry, CSI is on). i worked at W&M then, and was in a doctoral program.
what about pictures of YOU, alison, not the knitting. :)
