When bad things happen to good elbows

I'm crushed. Here I was, all excited for this KAL (so excited that I've already knit one Hanami over the summer, and am bursting to knit another), and what did I do? Smacked my elbow on a doorframe so hard that half my right hand has been tingling/asleep for a week! Brilliant, just brilliant.

As a result, I've managed only a provisional cast-on (my first-ever!) and four rows of the blossoms-only version. Ooooh, four rows. Not even worth taking a picture of. Hopefully my elbow will heal up fast, and I'll be able to produce something more impressive by next week. However, this doesn't bode well for my ability to knit along on schedule...

I'm going to console myself in the meantime by going to the Waterloo Region Knitters' Fair tommorow -- the largest event of its kind in Canada, supposedly, and right here in town. Is anyone else in the group local enough to be going? If so, I'll see you there!
