First, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who wished me well regarding my back. I will surely heal more quickly with all of your positve energy!!! I have my good days and not so good days...but at least I can knit now! Plus my DH has been wonderful! Gotta love that. It is pretty much all muscular and I have been getting spasms on and off...not fun. I’m still on a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory. Since I really can’t drive on these...I can and have been knitting...a lot.
Here is my progress on Wall Street…

I just have to do the shoulder shaping & the neck bind off to be finished the back. Then it is on to the front. I figure I’ll give this to my DH for Christmas. The sizing looks good. I’m crossing my fingers though. I didn’t have my needles for Veer yet, so I have started a different project…

This cable sweater is from the Debbie Bliss Simple Living book. I just can not get enough of cardigans. I’m using Jaeger Extra Fine Merino DK in color #986. This yarn knits up like a dream. It reminds me of Karabella Aurora 8, except in DK weight. That reminds me...I need to see if Karabella makes a DK weight yarn similar to their Aurora 8 for future reference. Most of my sweaters I have knit are in worsted and aran weight. I wanted to try something in a lighter weight yarn. It is too bad that Jaeger is not going to be around much longer. At least thats what I hear. Their yarns are fabulous. I just don’t get it!

Workout news…
NIL...I can’t wait to start doing something. I hate not being able to do anything!!!

Here are some answers to a few of my emails…

Brandy...I printed out Cabling without a needle from Wendy’s archive. These are great directions. Good luck!

Diane...My Wall Street Cable vest is from ‘The Best of Knitters Arans & Celtics’

Donna...Regarding Eloise. I think if I used one size smaller needles than I did, she would have worked...but I like a fitted sweater. Eloise wasn’t way too large, just more roomy than I would have liked.

Have a great one and hopefully I will be all better next time I post!
