...tired, sore and surprised. Wow. I'm sure any athlete who had suffered down time from an injury would laugh at my naivety on this one. I haven't knit in a little over 5 weeks. I never imagined how much my muscles would have atrophied in that time period. I joyously sat down last night and picked up my knitting. I knit about 5 rows before the fatigue hit. My wraps were suddenly all loosey-goosey. Needles started missing their marks and stitches got split. Speed halved. Gauge went right out the window. I stumbled through the last row the way a toddler argues his case to "stay up late" whilst nodding off. It was sad. I found myself thinking back to when I first started knitting, frustrated by the inaccuracy and slow progress. It's going to take me longer to bounce back from this than I had hoped.
I did manage to wind yarn for my next OWL project in the HPKCHC group on Ravelry. Now I just need to get back into shape for this challenge.
