OH NO! A KNITTING INJURY

Don't know how I did it, but I popped something in my right yarn.  It interferes with my knitting...and I am letting it heal.   I know when it happened...I just don't know why.   I miss knitting marathons.

My father used to be a big one for reminding me, "This too, will pass."   I hope it passes sooner than later as I have been growing the stash and need to start knitting it down.   When the yarn closet becomes hard to close...it is time to do more knitting.

Here is a shocking confession.  I skipped a gauge swatch on a pair of green slippers.  I ASSUMED the right needle was in the bag with the yarn.    When I did not have enough yarn for the first slipper...not by much but enough...I scratched my head.  This was very odd.   I continued.   I really looked at the finished slipper.  It will be too large for its intended foot.    Fortunately, there is a larger foot available.....I can can get more yarn.    Next time.....check the needle size and for the love of all that is yarny...do a swatch!
