Hello 👋
My wrist has gotten better. Thank you all for your messages ❤️
I've been working with this yarn, and it's frankly beyond my expectations! This blue looks like space to me and the neps blue sky and dawn... It's rather dry but gets soft with blocking.
Hope I can show you a new design soon 😃

My wrist gets better and I'm slowly getting back to knitting, after 4 months. I just knitted a few rows but it's a huge step forward.

This is my wrist that has been hurting for more than two months. It started with a light pain in the wrist, and now I have troubles moving my thumb (I'm writing this with my right thumb only).

My wrist has been hurting for two weeks now, and I haven't knit for one week to let it rest, without no signs of improvement. I continue editing other designers patterns and knitting virtually, but it's sad not to be able to knit IRL 😢
