After a week or so of not being able to use knitting needles, I'm almost back to normal now. This flowery garland started out as a long length of 'French Knitting' made out of sheer frustration as that was about all I could do craft-wise last week. Then came the knitted leaves and flowers and a little woolly necklace/skinny scarf was born. It's going inot my Etsy shop today.
I have been painting so much over the past fortnight but just cannot show any of it as it is for Derwent. I have been using a selection of their Inktense pencils and colour blocks in juicy tropical colours - once the commissioned pictures are complete, I think I will have a go and paint something with them just for fun. Not that these weren't fun - I'd rather be painting than doing pretty much anything else!

Ah, your hand..... big ouch Caroline, it must sting a bit even now. As long as you can still hold a paint brush :-) Can't wait to see all you have been painting :-) x x x
Excellent to hear you're back to working, it drives you mad, doesn't it? I still look back on my three months of broken armness with horror.
Good that your hand is nearly recovered now. You must have been so frustrated.
Good to hear you can knit again... makes me feel all guilty inside. Still haven't finished my cardi! However, the lariat is cute. Is it going on Etsy or are you going to wear it yourself. I am surprised Stacie hasn't grabbed it and run... ;-) xoxo
