Hello I'm Here!

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]Hi All![/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I got a message today in my e-mail saying that you all missed me. Well, I come to the site all the time for one thing or another. I usually look up something I need to know to continue my knitting. It’s not all the time that I post. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I got bitten by a black widow a few months back, and it caused some problems with my right arm. The spider bite is better now, but during that time I had also developed Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), and it involved my whole right arm and my shoulder. I am still on meds to help with the pain when I get a flare up. I have to watch out what I do and for how long. Typing and knitting I have to take rest breaks, so that I won’t get real bad again. Thank god I had taught myself how to knit Continental style. I wouldn’t have been able to without Amy’s video. Thanks Amy! [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I just had a birthday Friday 10/19, and I got some pretty nice knitting stuff. I got Knitting Korner DVD’s, one is Knitting Continental style and the other is Knitting Socks l, and a Rolling case for storing my knitting on the go. I just love them![/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]These fires around here in Southern California is pretty bad. I am in no danger, however the smoke is bad around my place, so we have to keep the doors and window close, and the A/C on, so that we won’t have breathing problems. I sure hope that the fires end soon and the state gets the help that they were promised by the president and governor.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]Hey, don’t worry about me when I away. I will be sure to remember to pop in to say hello next time I am here. Here’s a thought how about a “Hello board” on the site?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]Thanks for caring, and love my friends:grphug:[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Welcome back :waving:! I hope you’re safe!
There actually is an “Introduce yourself” thread in General forum, where everyone are saying hi :slight_smile:

Glad you were able to switch knitting styles. I tried it and found that my left hand is so uncoordinated that I just wound up with a big mess.

Be safe and best of luck to you.

[COLOR=darkorchid]Hi Knitting Nat![/COLOR]
[COLOR=darkorchid]Thanks for the hello. I have been a member for 1/05, so I don’t think I need to introduce myself. I just thought it would be nice to have a hello thread that’s why I mentioned it. I also know just about everyone here from other groups.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=darkorchid]Nice to have met you![/COLOR]
[COLOR=darkorchid]Moo:) [/COLOR]

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]Hi Debi![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I have the same problem, but many people had said with practice it will work it self out. I decided to help that along by buying a Yarn Guide from Herrschners.com, and it works really well! It keeps that yarn right on that finger.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]I’m not in the direct path of the fires, but have been in the direct path of the smoke and ash. The rain did clean some air.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid]Thanks for your kind words.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
