Received good news about my arm yesterday.
Physical Therapist measured the degrees of movement, compared to day 1 and said I improved very nicely. I now have unassisted exercises to do. Those are the ones where I lift/move my right arm without assistance from my left arm.
Surgeon was pleased with the movement I have and gave me the okay to drive short distances. Yippee!
And puppy class was fun. I stood on the side and observed. Wanna see a cute picture of Primrose? click here!
And there is knitting news. I started the Jane Austen shawl from Cabin Fever using stash yarn (yea me!) Jo Sharp Silk Road DK Tweed. The color is no longer on the pallet page. It's called "Ambrosia" and it's somewhere between "Asparagus" and "BeanShoot". The pattern calls for a chunky yarn so I am doubling the dk.
According to the yarn requirements of the pattern, I'm going to be about 25 yards short....BUT..because you knit on the lace edging after knitting the shawl there are several things I can do...
not put on an edging
crochet an edging
add fringe
knit a different edge
knit a few repeats of the lace edging pull it out & measure how much I really use
...I'll let you know what I decide when I get there. I'm knitting so slowly it's going to be a while before I have to worry about it!

YIPEE!!!! I'm so glad your arm is healing so well! It'll feel good to be able to drive yourself around a bit, I bet. I really like that shawl pattern.
Primrose is so cute!
You must be so happy to be driving again! And hooray for more knitting!
