Doing some knitting

It has been 5 weeks since I had my thumb tendon operated on.  That was 6/20/12.  I am doing quite well, but knitting socks is out of the questions at this time.  The tension has to be "just so" and a bit tight and that still is causing discomfort, called pain.

I am working on a scarf called Horizon Scarf by Kate Jackson.  She hasn't published the pattern yet, as it will be in her up comming book Kate Jackson Knits.  It is a beautiful scarf.  Even though I still don't knit a lot of stitches per day, I am making progress.  Since I''m using a size 8 circular needle and the tension is loose it doesn't make my thumb sore.  At least I'm knitting!

Edited to add that the book is called Sunday Knitting and will be out on 9/22/12.  I've ordered my copy.
