Recovery




The surgery went well, and I got some pretty flowers from my lab-mates.


I'm already venturing back to work, although I'm still a little tired so it might be a day or two til I'm able to stay the whole day and not need/want a mid afternoon nap.



My family came over to cheer me up and feed my Sunday which was nice, and I found some time to sew up this:





That leaves the ends to work in, and there are alot of them, but it might fit afterall.

Is this really the fortune you want to get the night before having surgery?





Because of said hospital stay and feeling like I was getting a cold all week, I've been taking it easy, which meant getting the opportunity to do a little knitting. I finished the knitting on the little star sweater and proceeded to seaming.





I'm getting better at armhole and shoulder seams, although they're still not like the ones in the books!



I was very worried about the proportions and sizing of this sweater, but now that I've started to seam it, I feel like it might not be a horrible thing to inflict on a 2 year old after all. (He won't remember it anyway, right?) I really don't want to be the crazy Aunt who knits the sweaters with sleeves that are vastly different sizes.



I guess the final verdict will be when he gets to try it on.



Anyway, now I have to figure out what little and easy project to bring with me to the hospital......
