Disaster has struck – or, rather, my own clumsiness has struck.
Last night I walked from our kitchen into the living room, closed the door behind me, and somehow my left hand got entangled in the door-handle. The wrist sort-of twisted around the pinkie and .. well, it was not good. I iced the wrist/pinkie immediately and bandaged the area. I also made it through work today thanks to a heady combination of pain-killers, ice-packs and assorted swearing. Sadly knitting seems to be out of the question (I managed one row during my lunchtime and it did not feel good) and I’m now wearing my left arm in a sling.
This could not have happened at a worse time as the next fortnight will be very, very busy in terms of knitting, working and socialising (and even all three activities combined). I have a shawl with a looming deadline, a 4-ply cardigan I am exceedingly keen to get started within the next five days, and a ten-hour train journey which I had planned to pass with some knitting. Oh, and a concert with my favouritest band.
Poor timing, Karie, poor timing.
If the pain down my arm continues I will seek medical advice, but for now I’m all about painkillers, ice-packs, copious swearing and therapeutic sessions of Cursed Treasure. Wish me luck.
You poor (clumsy) thing :(
oh goodness…good luck
I hope the pills & ice help & there is no need to see a Dr feel better soon.
Your favourite band was having lunch at the next table to us today at the Grocery in Shoreditch!

You poor thing. I am clumsy too and often walk into door frames or somehow flail my limbs into harm’s way. I have every sympathy.
And there are nowhere near enough one-handed crafts.
