It's Done!

That's right, the vest is completed. I have two holes in my thumb [man, are they sore], but I got it done! [doing happy dance] Not only is it done, but it fits hubby perfectly. I'll have pics to post tomorrow, well, er, later today. I'm tending to my knitter's thumb,[I guess I took myself literally about knitting my fingers to the bone] but knitting will be slow or held off entirely until it's healed. Anyone else get this when they knit too much? I find it usually happens to my thumb or pointer finger of my left hand [I knit english, by the way].

In other news, I have cast on and started the hem of my rogue. Like I said, it's slow going, but I've been so anxious to start, thumb be damned!

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

I don't often get soreness from knitting, but I spin quickly enough that my lead index finger gets raw in one little stripe when the yarn goes through... I have to spin middle-fingered for a while (cuz it would make too much sense to just stop!)

I am a avid knitter of 6 years, though I don't knit English style and, sad to say, my left thumb joints are all swollen and painful. I have been diagnoised with arthritus of the thumb and am losing all grip, twist and strength functions. I either must give up kinitting or endure reconstruction surgery. And I only turned 40 a year ago! Sheesh.
