Not much crafting in Yonder this week. Instead I introduce you to Mrs. Snotty our new friend and life saver. Together with salt water nose drops and books to tilt Astrids bed, Mrs. Snotty has been a great help at fighting Astrid’s stuffed nose. My arms however have suffered from carrying her hours after hours and I have now fully bloomed inflammation in both my arms. Yet another reason for why there has been less crafting.
This is how far I got with the jacket before the arms protested and forced me to take a crafting break. So far I am in LOVE with this pattern; I am actually experiencing flow while knitting! That is a first. Finally a garment besides scarfs where my skills matches the knitting challenge.

oooh. so pretty. (the sweater, not the snot-machine)
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember those get-the-gook-out contraptions. Glad we don't need them anymore. At least the beginning of your new knitting project looks good...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that your arms have gotten so painful and just when you were really enjoying your knitting! Have you tried any type of baby wearing? We used a "Mobywrap" and carried Lilly in it all the time. Then you can have your hands free. Much better than a baby bjorn on your back. I would be happy to teach you should you want to learn!
ReplyDeleteHad such a great time visiting with you! It would be wonderful to get together again soon!

I hope that Astrid is better soon and that your arms recover! I understand why lots of mums have good arm muscles!
ReplyDeleteEspero que Astrid se ponga buena pronto, el aspira mocos no les gusta mucho, ¿a que no? :)
ReplyDeleteA mi también me dolían los brazos cuando Laura era más pequeña, ¿has probado un cojín de lactancia darle el pecho? Mis brazos mejoraron mucho desde que empecé a usarlo.
No le gusta para nada! jejeje pobrecita mi piruleta de fresa. Tengo un cojin y eso ayuda. Lo que he empezado a usar tambien es un...no se como se llama en castellana, pero un "baby björn", un "chisme"/mochila para llevar la niña sin poner peso a los brazos.
