Watch your step

Where have I been? Nowhere special. School starts and it seems like time flies. Speaking of flying, I guess I thought I could fly. Last night I was home alone, and excited to sit and knit and watch cops.
Cops wasn't on due to some baseball game! SO I headed upstairs to throw a load in the wash and dryer. I was coming down the steps, with for some reason, my cell phone in my hand, and it happened.
I missed the last step. I don't know how. I heard it pop and then the next thing I knew I was on the landing in extreme pain! And the cell phone battery was dead!
The good news, its just a severe sprain. Its ice and rest for a couple days. Notice the hand knit sock in the picture....
Before the big fall, I had finished up a charity project for one of the SIL. Hat, mittens and a scarf set. I used Vintage wool. LOVE IT!!!! Very very nice to work with.
I broke my camera so I didn't get a picture of it, before it left. The new camera came yesterday.
That's another reason I have not blogged in awhile.

So while I am mending, I decided to pull out some hibernating projects. The weather has turned very cold and my daughter went out last night with her boyfriend and her mittens I made her last year. But she had no scarf or hat to match! I forgot all about those mittens. That made me remember the scarf I have been wanting to make. I bought the yarn probably two winters ago. Its "Manos del Uruguay ". This totally cool pattern can be found here. She just saw it and said...."I really like that scarf, who is it for?" Yippeeeeee!!! It moves quickly and should be finished tomorrow. size 11 needles.

Next on the list of UFO's is this beautiful vest for the hubby. The back is SOOOOOOOO boring!!!! I am at the very top of the back and ready to bind off and start the fun front. I think the front will go fast because of all the pattern work. Can't wait to see.

Well, I am going to sit and let my ankle knit itself back together, while I knit some warmth for my family. Peace out. And keep knitting
