Fannar
Written by Pamela on March 30, 2008 – 9:40 am -Some days I’m quite bright, other days I’m very stupid. Yesterday was one of my Very Stupid days. My RSI has been incredibly painful, but yesterday it didn’t feel too bad, so I decided I could finish Fannar. Fannar is a jumper I’m knitting for Macuwita Sni. It’s a pattern from Best of Lopi, using chunky Alafoss Lopi yarn. I started it at the beginning of the month and made good progress until my shoulder and arm flared up. It has been sitting on my coffee table ever since, staring balefully at me. It only needed a few hours work, so yesterday evening I picked it up and finished it. Here it is.
Okay, so it looks very nice, but even while I was knitting, I was thinking “Oh dear, my shoulder and arm really hurt”. Did I stop knitting? Nope, I carried on regardless, with the result that my RSI screamed blue murder all night and is agony today. See? Very very stupid.
So it’s back to hand sewing for the foreseeable future.

Pamela, Fannar is magnificent! So much for holding up my end of the Lopi KAL, eh? I am profoundly ashamed that despite the RSI you managed to finish an entire sweater before I even cast on. (((blush)))
I do hope your pain goes away quickly, as I know how awful it can be. Your hand sewing projects are always so lovely! Now that I have this blog bookmarked, I will pop in from time to time and check on your progress.

I am sorry that you’re in pain again, but the jumper is beautiful, and I am glad that it isn’t just me that is craft - stupid in a kind of “I will stay up til 2am to finish my sewing, even though my back aches and I will only have 5 hours sleep before work” kind of way….
See you Weds x
