Not much knitting going on

     I know I haven’t blogged in a while, but as they say life goes on.  Unfortunately, my knitting has gone decidedly south.  I have pretty much given up on Liz I.  I restarted it 3 times, and I am just not satisfied with the results I’ve gotten.  Needless to say, I will not be wearing it to Randy’s wedding.  So I’ll put it off to the side and try to do something else.  I picked up the yarn I had designated for the Ribbed Corset (pattern by Annie Modesitt).  This too was another one of my “I don’t like the way this is coming out so I’ll rip it out and put it away” projects.  I have 7 skeins of Artyarns Regal Silk in a purple-yellow multi mix which I really like.  I started swatching for it and it’s taking me forever because of my bum elbow.  Something tells me I won’t get this done in time either.  It’s a shorter project, which ideally I would be able to finish before mid October, but my elbow is what it is.  
     As I have stated before, tendonitis sucks!  I have decided to bite the bullet, so to speak, and call my MD to see if she can give me a referral to an orthopedist or maybe she herself can give me some steroids for the elbow.  I really didn’t want to have to do that, but I just can’t take it anymore.  I’m going on a knitting retreat (YAY!) in November and I need to be in the best shape.  Otherwise I’m really not going to have a good time.  
     Steroids, here I come!
