Knitting from the sick bed :(

I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday morning and although I've thankfully been in little pain, I'm suppose to take it easy.  On the bright side, there's nothing like having time for getting knitting done because you're not allowed to do much else.  So I thought I'd do a quick blog to update everyone on my works in progress.

I've been working on my U-Neck Tunic.  It's coming along nicely.

I've also done a bit on a new scarf.  It is being done in a lovely green Malabrigo.  Also peaking from the side of the picture is my favorite and most used knitting book, The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe.

Lastly, I've done a bit of work on my Lace Ribbon Scarf.  Sadly I cannot seem to learn my lesson about not knitting lace in public.  I managed to mess up my pattern on the first round I did at the new knitting meet-up I attended.  I forgot a yarn over, as can clearly be seen in the circle below.

I can live with the error though.  Speaking of the knitting meet-up...  (You can find group at Meetup.com.)  It was a lot of fun.  It's held on James Island every Monday at a nice little cafe and everyone's really nice.  I just hope I'm well enough to go this next week.

Next time I blog, it should be about my first finished object in FOREVER.  I just have to seam up the Drop Stitch Tank and it will be complete.

You were very brave and such a good patient when I looked after you on Thursday :)

I hope you feel better soon. When you are all better I'll treat you to an awesome meal out, to make up for having liquid/soft foods ;)

Glad you finally wrote something new. I was getting tired of checking everyday only to see OLD NEWS. It is your job to keep your mother informed and entertained!
I like the green for the new scarf, that is an awfully little mess up on the lacy one, the gray tunic is lovely, and I can't wait to see the green top finished. Don't forget to model it for me!
