I finished knitting my mother's Traveling Woman on December 26. This meant I actually handed my mother a gift bag with the project still on the needles on Christmas Day. Oh well. After a few days of tearing apart my so-called "yarn room," I finally found my blocking pins. With The Preschooler at Bubba's, I had some peace and quiet this morning to block out the shawl.
Finally, yesterday, I went to the jeweler's, with moral support from Steven, to have my rings cut off. I haven't been able to get them reliably on and off for over a year, and with last weekend's Christmas basically serving as a Festival of Ham and Salty Snax, my fingers swelled up to painful proportions. Because I'm pregnant, I knew it would get worse before it got better, so off they came. Steven insists I show you a picture of the immediate aftermath.

wow--that looks incredibly painful!! glad you got that taken care of.
Oh my goodness! I had no idea that was happening yesterday!
I gave up wearing my rings about 18 months ago. I miss them so.
Wow, that looks even worse than I remember!
Oooh, ouch! I hope your fingers returned to normal after that ordeal.
Love your mom's shawl. That's such a cool picture of it.
