Quickie, drive-by postings this week, I'm afraid. The good news is Bhen got his staples out on Friday afternoon, and he was given the A-OK for a trial ride, which we did on Sunday. He had absolutely no swelling or puffiness or tenderness, so that means he's cleared to go for some limited distance ride times this weekend and we are trying to get ready to go do that.
However.....
Project #1: Caradhras Socks
I had a bunch of good knitting time last Friday, as I had my Remicade scheduled in the morning, so I powered through the foot of the sock before I fell asleep, and then finished up the heel later on in the evening when I finally got with it enough to handle even simple knitting.
Goal: I'm going to take this as my travel/camp project over the weekend, I think. Bet I can get this one finished up with a little effort.
Project #2: Miralda Shawl
Still plugging away on this one. The nupps rows are taking longer than "normal" knit rows would, but I have finished halfway thru the middle charts with the largest lace pattern. (Possibly one of THE worst photos ever taken, but you can get the vague idea, eh?).
Goal: Probably not much time on this one this week. I'm going to try to get a few more rows accomplished before we leave, but nothing specific goal-wise.
All for now....
I bet you have the socks done before you return. And the shawl is flying! I love the color.

The edging shows up well in the photo. Your shawl is going to be beautiful and should go quickly now.

Yippee for Bhen!
The shawl may be going slowly, but it looks great - even in that photo.

Fingers crossed for you to have a GREAT weekend ride. I'll be anxiously awaiting your first post when you get back.

Yes, I DO get the idea. That Miralda shawl is beautiful, and you chose a great color.

Sounds like a sox weekend to me. You are a good Bhen doc. I'm glad he came out the other end with no problems.

Glad to hear the leg is doing well. Hoping for a great ride. BTW, I just received my copy of Frog, the Horse that Knew No Master that I saw on Etherknitter. I'll be glad to do a book review.

I love nupps. They are so much fun - even if they do slow things down a bit!
