Talking and Stashing
Thanks to Knotingale for the tips! I'm going to the pharmacy tomorrow for a brace and new glove, and I have not knit a stitch for the last two nights (including this one, which isn't done yet, but I'm on my way to read). This does not mean I don't have knitting to show you! 
Here is my Kureyon scarf, in progress. I love how isolating two rows at a time causes surprising colors to come forward. For instance, see that stripe of green? It comes from a skein that looks completely black, gray and burgundy. I think this will be a perfect project to pick up for a half hour at a time. That's not to say that Hedera won't be touched, just that some of the stitches on that are a little more fiddley, so I won't be doing much knitting on that.
In better news, the lack of knitting is doing wonders for my stash! Today's acquisition? Ten skeins of Noro Kureyon in color #88! I've been searching for this color, and decided I was meant to have it. And I don't even mind if it takes awhile to ship!

I was admiring your ability to RESIST knitting, then you confessed. I find that yarn-buying is a more than adequate sub for knitting. Too bad it has such a negative effect on my pocketbook!
When you get your Noro, please remark on how scratchy it is (ha), as I am trying to RESIST buying.
Oh, no! I really haven't knit for THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW now. I'm having some twitchiness. The scarf I showed you was from before I stopped knitting, I just hadn't had a chance to show it yet. :)
Noro is on the scratchy side. I have a cardigan I made out of it, but no way would I make a sweater to wear next to the skin! (Hope that helps!)
Pretty scarf! I'm sorry you have to take it easy on the knitting. Very frustrating, especially at the beginning of a new project. Take good care and heal fast!
