I’m working on a couple knitting projects at the moment. I’m not showing pics because I’m lazy and I knit too slow to show any progress really. One of the pieces is a little girl dress and it’s pretty straight forward stocking stitch, so a big plain square twice with sleeves.
Yesterday I sat down mid day and decided to crank out as much of the front as I could while watching a movie, and I made some decent progress. I also got around to dragging a bag of fiberfill stuff out of the closet and restuffing one of cushions on the sofa. This would have been a successful thing, but for one small catch.
Apparently by fluffing up the back cushion, I managed to slightly change the angle that I sit while knitting. I’m one of those people that curls up with my feet under me and leans into the corner of the sofa. Leaning against my left arm for a good couple of hours and doing a very monotonous repetitive hand motion has left me with knitters elbow. Don’t ask, it is what it is. I have a semi numb tingling pinky and a stiff elbow.
It’s just me that does this stuff isn’t it?

I list to the right and with all the hours I spend at the computer, I really know I have to stop when my elbow throbs, and my “clicky” mouse finger goes numb.
