In need of an opinion...

ravenlas had laser eye surgery on Friday. He went to the Vision Optical (sorry!) Express clinic in Leeds and they were very good. Only... they popped in the anaesthetic drops one eye straight after the other. By the time the drop went into the other eye, it was already watering. So when they came to cut the flap, his left eye wasn't properly anaesthetised. He worried everyone in the waiting room - including myself - by saying *extremely loudly* that he was in a lot of pain. The procedure seems to have gone okay, though, and after a traumatic trip home in which the sun caused even more pain through his darkest sunglasses and closed eyes, he's doing fine. His vision's good, his eyes are healing up just fine. It's been a touch stressful, though, and predictably, I've been very tired today.

So, knitting. I've got a lot done Friday and yesterday. I bought some Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed which I thought might make a better sleeve, so now I have a sleeve done in that and one done in Debbie Bliss Rialto Aran.

- Which do you think? Either? Neither? I'm not convinced. So not convinced that I spent today starting to knit a shopping bag instead.

Been a bit headachey to go with the tired, but I also spent a good while soaking in the bath, and this evening we used up the huge pile of veg in a chicken stew and garlic potatoes. Yum! And Transformers is on the tv.

Thank you, o_faolain, for the CD - I'll be putting it onto my ipod tomorrow. :)

Work tomorrow. *sigh*

My brain tells me neither. Perhaps something in a darker purple? The lilac, imo, is a better match than the pink, though.


Best of luck to ravenlas for his recovery. I hope everything heals quickly and the surgery did exactly what he wants it to have done.

I have an entire cone of non-tweedy burgundy merino wool. I'm tempted to knit it from scratch in that...

Thank you! He says 'No! I can't fire lasers out of my eyes!' *heh*
