I crave working with bright colors when I am hurting. My color work really seems to improve when I am in physical pain. It has been awhile since I have really written about what is going on at the home front. Right now tropical storm Bill is wreaking havoc. We have had about 4 inches of rain since yesterday and it is still raining. The rain really affects my arthritis and kicks the pain up a notch. I am headed for a knee replacement later this summer so I am spending quite a bit of time just hanging out. I have noticed through the years that I do my best color work in crochet when I am hurting.
Here is the blanket I finished several years ago when I had just finished foot surgery.
I finished this flower blanket before surgery two years ago.
Here is another blanket that I finished right after surgery. I seem to crave color when I am hurting. Here is the hat and scarf set I finished this week.
So you can see why I need to have knee surgery. I should feel much better afterwards. The recovery process has me a bit worried as it takes a bunch of therapy and exercise to get good movement back. I hope that things go well.
Talk to you later,
Karen
