It's very slowly becoming a sweater

I have only worked a few rows at a time, every other day or so. I really am starting to miss my knitting time, but feel there are just so many other things that need to come first right now.

On the plus side, I finished printing my wedding invitations and all of the assorted paraphernalia that accompany them. They are going to be stuffed this weekend and mailed (cross your fingers) on Monday. I will definitely try to photograph one to post here before they are all mailed out.

For the record: while I did have fun wandering around scrapbook and craft stores picking out all the perfect pieces for the invitations, the writing/printing/cutting/gluing process was waaay more stressful than I anticipated. Mostly because I never (and still don't) felt like they were "good" enough.

Ouch.

My right hand has been bothering me the last few days. Not from knitting (although it has kept me from knitting), but from overuse of my trusty adjustable pipettor at work. Part of the problem stems from a graceful incident six years ago in which I closed my thumb in a heavy metal door. (I'll leave out the gruesome explanation of my injury.) It still bothers me on an almost daily basis and since it is my "pipetting thumb", it doesn't get much rest. I think I might go buy a heating pad to wrap my hand up in. That sounds like it would feel fantastic right about now.

Enough whining. I have photos to show you!
