I&#8217;ve been easing up on the knitting. The other big impact on my knitting last year was an extreme knitting injury. Well, I don&#8217;t know that for sure, but no one has really been able to tell me what caused it. I kept having pain in my right shoulder, but it was intermittent at first, and I thought I was sleeping on it weirdly or some such. Then bursitis was tossed around for awhile, until an ultrasound and MRI found a torn tendon. Ouch! I&#8217;ve been having cortisone and physiotherapy, and things were doing better, but it&#8217;s been a bit sore again lately. I&#8217;m wondering if it&#8217;s my knitting, particularly as I&#8217;m working with All Seasons Cotton. It&#8217;s a blend, but I&#8217;ve never been a huge fan of cotton and I think it could be the yarn.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe not. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_6750-e1422263671993.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_6750-e1422263671993-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6750\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1355\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_6750-e1422263671993-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_6750-e1422263671993-360x480.jpg 360w, http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_6750-e1422263671993-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here it is so far, though!<\/p>\n<p>Another Kim Hargreaves, I&#8217;m such a Kim tragic.
