Finger Paper Scissors

No, not a new version of the popular strategy game "Rock paper scissors". I wasn't paying enough attention last Saturday and managed to cut my left index finger with a sharp paper cutter blade . A visit to the emergency room, much waiting and finally stitches rounded out the day. I did manage to meet friends at the NAC Theatre at half time to see the remainder of the show later that same evening.

But it's been a challenging week. Keyboarding is much more difficult, though I have managed to work around the not being able to bend, and therefore use, my very useful index finger. I've opted out of most food prep around the house, and have only begun my regular clean-up duties.

It's been quite strange not being able to knit. At our local guild meeting on Monday night I was able to hold up some items I knit earlier in the month, but I'm dying to sew up the Baby Surprise Jacket I finished the night before the finger injury, and under normal circumstances I would have finished and shown that jacket, as I had two days to sew the shoulder seams and sew on buttons.

Here's the jacket waiting for me to sew it up.





Here's Popsy with a preview of the finished product!













So I'm continuing to let the finger heal, think about new designs and wonder what project to proceed with next.
