That is great news! I injured a finger badly in a folding lawn chair when I was a teen. It took a long time for my nail to grow back, but it did. The important thing is that you have less pain now. Happy knitting! I'm so happy for you!

Pain Free Days at last!

Pardon the fuzziness. I had to take that picture myself. It's clumsy, but it is knitting and that feels like ... well, not quite getting out of jail free – i can't spin yet, but certainly being on parole.
Yesterday was the first day in weeks that I didn't have to drag myself through to the end ... or quit halfway and just go home. It's the most wonderful thing to see that it's 5 o'clock and realize you haven't been aching for the past 3 hours.

Real knitting content will be showing up sometime soon. Happy Thursday.
