Do not fear it. I thought I would be laid up for a long time, but that did not happen, and I did both at the same time.

This is the time frame sort of thing I was curious about...thanks! I have an online custom do rag business and was really wondering how long I need to put the site on vacation.

I've got plenty of hand work to do...king quilt needs binding, EPP project and several pairs of socks to knit. I guess I'll just leave the sewing and not push it!
