right hand

Good news: No fracture visible on any of the several oddly positioned X-rays taken of the hand this morning. (Also: if I go back to the hospital at some point I can get hand-bone pics on CD.)

Bad news: Probably a strained ligament is what still hurts too much, and those take about eight weeks to heal. No throwing sticks for dogs any time soon.

(ETA: This is from the hand-mashing I did on 22 September, not some new thing.)

I started this at Wiscon and finished on the way to the beach burn this past Saturday, which is why the above is a camera-phone picture with my lovely knees as a background. Someday (in a couple of years when she grows into it?) we may get a picture of lirrin's super-adorable imp girl wearing it.

I winged it, apart from swiping 4T chest measurements from other patterns, so I have only a little idea how to make such a thing again. The stitch in back-and-forth knitting is:

K across 2n stitches
P1, {YO, P2tog} to end, P1
K across
K across

Easy, rolls slightly, cute on front and back.
