Amy wrote in the comments and asked how the poncho was going, whether I was bored with it.
No, I'm not bored with it at all, but I did stop working on it because I think working with the larger needles causes my shoulder to hurt. It's probably a combination of working on a computer all day long, i.e., using the mouse, plus knitting, because it's my right shoulder. I figure it's some kind of repetitive stress injury. So I've stopped knitting so much, and particularly with large needles, until it feels better. I did finally pick up something on little needles--a tarot card bag worked in Koigu--and I'm just working on it a little bit each day. I hate having a knitting injury!
I guess I should probably try knitting without "throwing" with my right arm, I'm sure that would help, and I'll do that if it doesn't look like it's going to get better soon.
