52-Week Knitalong

Adrienne got me set up for this (thank you Adrienne), but am not sure how long I will last. I know I mention (okay, whine about) it way too much, but the carpal tunnel is getting worse, so I am probably going to have to deal with surgery on it sometime ths year, which will put an end to the knitalong for me this go-round, unless I could complete 12 projects before I deal with surgery and call them my 12 months worth? Just asking, as I don't want to miss out on the fun, but I don't think I will be able to hold off on surgery until next year.
I couldn't resist those great slippers either that two of you have made, so am trying to get a pair done before the 31st. I also owe you all a pic of the felted elf slippers I made for my son, they are quite a kick (not to mention he will outgrow them and they will be mine, whoo-hoo!)!
Lots of great projects here, loved seeing the mittens, and that you got them done in time! Looking forward to seeing lots more cool knitting this year!

I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists 2 months apart many years ago (22 now) before the improved methods of today. A month after the first one, I painted our kitchen because the pain was so much less than before the surgery. I wouldn't recommend doing the painting so soon, but having the surgery was one of the best decisions I ever made. I wish you well with it and wouldn't be surprised if you are knitting much sooner than you think. I believe you will be very pleasantly surprised. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts--Tunie

the moderators will be discussing this. it's a hardship for sure... but maybe we can consider a special category.
a suggestion for all concerned - you should write me - drlaura - privately with issues about exceptions and etc.

Firstly, my apologies to you, Dr. Laura, for putting you (and the moderators!) on the spot; I should have thought about that. :o(
Secondly, Debi, I like the way you think!
Thirdly, Adrienne, see Debi's note, lol
And last but far from least, Tunie, thank you SO much for the encouragement, lately all I have heard are the negative aspects of surgery. Your comment is a ray of hope, so again, thank you. :o)
