Knitting
Jumpers/cardigans
I have finished knitting my second Winding Down jumper by Heidi Kirrmaier. The yarn is New Lanark Aran Donegal Silk Tweed, in the colour Blue John. The pale flecks are the 10% silk. (My first version was in Malabrigo Rios.)
Its hard to photograph as it is dark yarn. Its also still a little damp. Its darker than both of these photos. I haven’t weighed the leftover yarn to work out how much I used but I’ll do that at some point.
Socks
I’m now going to give a bit more attention to my husband’s socks.

I think my frozen shoulder is finally moving into the thawing stage. Its still painful to lie on but I am starting to be able to move it a little more into directions it wasn’t going before. It starting freezing in July 2024 so its been a long time. Fingers crossed I will get full movement back soon.

What a tough thing to cope with. I imagine most making activities involve using the shoulder. Hope you continue to get movement back.

“Twins”, we both finished sweaters this week! Your looks great. The first one is beautiful too. What great colors. Love what the silk does. So glad your shoulder is moving in the right direction. Just a warning – it can still be a slow process but at least it’s forward moving.

Thanks, yes I must remember not to overdo it and still have some patience but at least I have a little progress.

Thanks. Hopefully I’ll manage to get to wear it a bit before the temps rise. I do wonder if anyone will spot the cables the yarn is so dark 😆

I like to knit cables. The sweater is pretty, the top picture lets me see the cable and the flecks of the silk. 🙂
So glad your shoulder is getting better. It’s been a little bit, but being able to move it again is exciting!!! Does your physical therapist have you doing exercises?

I enjoy cables too and its ages since I did a project with them. I have some exercises I am doing now.

They seem to be helping, thank goodness for physical therapists, wasn’t sure I did when I broke a knuckle under my little finger and after the cast came off, oh my they help but so painful at first!

I love your sweater. I hope your shoulder continues thawing and behaving itself! I just got xrays of my hands and wrists and the verdict was… pretty significant damage (report had the word “severe” attached to several of the wrist joints) but the strange thing is… they don’t hurt now and I’m knitting okay. I hope that you also have a return to functionality!

Me too, it would be nice to get back to doing some felting but I won’t rush it.

Your sweater looks scrumptious. Hopefully your shoulder is finally deciding to ‘thaw’ out.
