Frustrated butThankful he's O.K.

Our so very close i can smell it "move my studio / add to our house" project has been indefinitely delayed, possibly for several month. John got hurt yesterday helping a friend to repair the mowing machine part of a tractor ( you know, the mowing part that cuts the grass for making hay?!).

The 600 pounds piece off equipment fell on his left shoulder and made it totally unusable ( his shoulder, the equipment is fine).

We spend 3 hours at the emergency room doing mostly nothing except for about 5 minutes of action , when they took his x-rays. , and another 5 minutes for the physician that apparently no bones are broken .

They gave him some pain meds ( he's in a # 15 pain on a scale from one to ten).For someone who is a former bull/saddle bronc rider, and used to a lot of pain, that's a lot of pain.

So now we have to make an appointment with a orthopedic doctor because he either tore a lot of muscles/tendons or tore his rotator cuff.

So that will delay us doing anything around here for several month.

I'm so very thankful that he's OK, five inches over and that thing would have landed on his head and killed him, but damn!!! ... We where days away from moving my studio.
So I'll be back to knitting again, maybe some yarn dyeing, but nothing else .I've already packed everything in boxes and totes in no particular order because after the move i was going to go thru everything bit by bit and organize, so i just stuffed things higgledy piggledy in anything i could find, so now i don't know where anything is. :(

Man, I'm so pooted!!
(pooted = southern for mad!)

I just finished two pair of socks :

DK weight Confetti :

and fingering weight Patchwork:

available at my etsy store.

I also ordered some new books:Wendy Johnson:Socks from the toe up

Symeon North:Get Spun and Jane Fournier:In Sheep's Clothing: a hand spinners guide to wool.

I got the first two yesterday.I like the Toes Up book , a lot of beautiful sock patterns . The Get Spun is great too, with a lot of pictures and instructions on how to spin some unusual yarns. It gave me some great ideas for when i can get back to spinning again.
