SHE LIVES!
So, yeah, apparently I'm still breathing and all. Yay!
For those folk who have
apollymi friended as well and can read her posts, you likely know that around 14 August I had a little accident at work that resulted in a broken right pinky. This left me in a splint (more like a soft cast because they wound up wrapping the pinky and ring finger and only left my thumb, index and middle fingers free) for about three weeks: an initial cast at the emergency room the night the accident happened and a new splint at the clinic for follow-up the following week. I should have had a second exam in there somewhere but my appointment was canceled the day before Dragon*con so I wound up in that second splint for two full weeks. The casts are all off now, and I had my last follow-up appointment this past Thursday. Worker's comp is covering my expenses there, and supposedly I'll be getting reimbursed for the days I missed work (a double that Friday which would have been around 8 hours, a 5 hour Saturday dinner shift, and a 4 hour Sunday brunch shift) but we'll see where that's concerned.
Mostly, I wanted to make a post today to let everyone know I'm still out there in the world.
Also, for my own reference, I'm putting notes for my current knitting project behind the cut tag.

Pattern
This is still a work in progress, I've only just finished Row 7. This is being worked sort of backward, starting at the hand and working to the end so that the K2P2 ribbing is snug at the hand/fingers then stretchy through the forearm area. As I make alterations I'll come back and correct the pattern.
Anyone else who may be reading this who knits, feel more than welcome to nic this and share any thoughts towards the process. I knit flat because I'm still just a beginner, but I think that it could be adapted for DPN or circular needles as well.
