Recovery Shawl

Well I finally have actual knitting content. Whew how good does that feel? It is crappy pictures but of a knit item. 

I cast on My Recovery Shawl after my surgery. I had bought this Kauni color changing yarn when we visited Vancouver Island in 2016. Don't you just love vacation yarn? It has marinated in my stash since then. I thought I found the right pattern for it a couple of times but each time I ripped back. I wanted something to show off the colors and finally decided a nice simple pattern would do just that and allow my brain to relax after surgery. I'm still amazed at how unfocused I was. Trauma really does a number on the brain. So I knit and purled part of my way through recovery. I'm so happy with the way it came out. It is not as big as I like my shawls to be these days but it is warm and pretty. I expect it I would have left it out one of the cats would have snuggle in soon. Hey it might be big enough for both to snuggle in on...

In other news I have very thankfully started working from home this week. My feline coworkers have been trying to be supportive, but mostly they demand food breaks then nap. It is tough taking care of Momma! Burt is very disappointed that I am not sticking to his purr therapy schedule. Very disappointed Momma!

They also decided ages ago that the top level of my Ikea cart makes a pretty ideal kitty condo/penthouse. They have graciously allowed me to store knitting stuff in the lower two levels. You know one of the many reasons I bought the cart.
