Really Flagging!!! February 25, 2006

My shoulder is now so painful that I’m having to lay back against a cushion and knit whilst DH reads the 28 row lacy stitch pattern to me for the long, long lace edging that needs to be sewn all around the edge of the shawl. However, he will only do this in the breaks between the rugby matches on TV. The rest of the time I have to manage myself. He has learned all the knitting abbreviations! Isn’t that good. Who knows, we might get him knitting next!!! The four broad borders with mitred edges have now been sewn into place around the centre (that was a real nightmare!!!) and I’m not giving up ……yet ……
Can’t believe I’m doing this. I still have miles and miles of edging to knit!!!
Wish me luck. 
You’re so nearly there – keep going! I have half a sleeve and the neckband/front edging left to do, and I have to finish tonight, so I can finish an assignment in time for posting on Monday
Good luck! But don’t kill yourself over it! Its not bad to stop if you are in pain. After all, the most important thing about the Olympics is being there and taking part which you’ve done and that makes you a champion in my books!
Keep going (but only if it doesn’t hurt TOO much!). Oh and I think your DH should have a gold medal too!
I’m willing you on but hoping you’ll stop if you’re in serious pain! Take care.

Hope you make it, but don’t damage yourself in the process.
