You wouldn't think that would be possible, would you?
I've been doing a lot of knitting over the last few weeks, and my shoulder is complaining about it. I have an old repetitive motion injury that is mostly kept in check with exercise, but excessive knitting can set it off. Too much mouse work on the computer, and certain other things can also set it off, but knitting is definitely one of those things that I have to watch.
I guess it's time to go weave or spin, since I think I'll regret it if I do much more knitting without giving my shoulder some time. Sigh...
I've had a lot of inspiration from the workshop that I took from Cat Bordhi, so that's part of the problem. I have lots of things that I want to try and I don't want to lose the momentum.
Seems like maybe time to try continental knitting again. If I cast on at least one project that's continental, then I can at least knit something when my shoulder is like this. Sounds like a good excuse to start that moebius cat bed that I wanted to do...

Well, one can't argue with inspiration. I guess part of the problem with having many interests is getting around to them all enough to feel productive. Still, when the body complains, it's a sure sign that it's time to switch to something else. That said, I would love to see a moebius cat bed!
I tried continental recently, and I was impressed at how much faster the knit part was, but the purl part totally stumped me.
