I finally finished my Rainbow Warrior Cowl - it has been my project while recuperating from cataract surgery (which followed hip replacement surgery) and then recovering from Bell’s Palsy incident two weeks ago. Holy moly - once again, knitting has saved my sanity!
My next project is the Butterfly Papillon shawl by Marin Melchior - I am excited to start but will wait until tomorrow so I can start fresh!
Warrior cowl for a warrior!
A great success.
Champion recovery and recovery project! Hope you are back and feeling well.
What a spectacular next project:
Creations,
Thank you for the kudos; I really appreciate it!
salmonmac,
Recovery is slower than I would like and I had to cancel a trip to Ireland with my daughter after the Bell’s Palsy incident (I thought I was having a stroke, so this outcome was fabulous) so my projects are literally helping me with the emotional impact of all that stuff. I can’t wait to show you all my progress with the Butterfly Papillon shawl. I plan to wear it when we DO travel to Ireland sometime next year 
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement!
It’s a beautiful cowl. Sorry to hear about all you are going through. Onward and upward 
Thank you, busterboy! One step at a time, right?
Yes☺️
Claudia1, I’m so sorry to hear of all your issues.
Creations said it perfectly — Warrior cowl for a warrior.
You have been beset by more than your fair share of setbacks. But your knitting is lovely, and your keep-at-it spirit is great. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, metaphorically as well as physically.
Lihn,
I really appreciate your kind words - and you’re right: Creations said it perfectly!
Knitting has been my zen practice for about 10 years now and I never stop marveling at the fun, the challenges and the constant learning; new skills and new understanding of my own strengths and areas I can improve. Thank you so much for your encouragement!
The Rainbow Warrior Cowl sounds like such a fun project! I love the idea of incorporating so many vibrant colors—it must look amazing once it’s finished. The texture and stitch pattern can make it extra special too.
