Another cold cold day on the Dakota plains at least it’s not snowing......too cold to snow. It makes a person very thankful for central heat and to stay home.
A small finish, my blue and yellow cowl. I should have finished this 3 weeks ago but wrist stress probably tendinitis I have given my wrists a rest. Knitting in the round on a short cable goes fast but the repetitive motion as small as that movement has stressed my wrists. Maybe that was the problem the small movement rather than the big movement of repositioning the fabric on the needles. Anyway I went a week and a half without knitting! Then I would knit 2-4 color changes a day so slow. I must remember to stop and flex my hands and wrists more frequently. The cowl is done. Scroll down to the post with this yarn for a link to the pattern. Something new to bundle up in the next time I venture outside. Stay warm —Ann—

It's beautiful! I'm glad your wrists are better so you could finish the cowl. Stay warm out there. It's a good thing you are a knitter and quilter. :)
I hear you about sore hands! My thumbs have been hurting since I knit a baby blanket with big yarn and big needles and haven't done any knitting for a while, but did get out a X-stitch project and am piecing a quilt. Love that cowl!
That is a nice warm finish just in time for the cold weather. It looks beautiful with your sweater. I have to limit my handwork time to avoid problems.
